Hugo responding to new data and patterns to use this approach

[gedw99]

I am really getting into the concept of having workers publish data to Hugo and then Hugo rerenders.

But I am wondering what happens if bad data is sent to Hugo and it causes Hugo to stall? Maybe thee is a way to run Hugo with a flag or config to help this situation.
maybe an external process should tell Hugo to re-render?

have others come across this or thought about it ?

I am also wondering about if Hugo can look for the data or respond to a web hook to get the data ?

It might be sturdier then because it can get the web hook, go Grabmal the data , validate it’s good and then place it in the data folder . Then the normal Hugo event loop will render it.

I saw video about software testing, which might be of interest to you: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u6QfIXgjwGQ

TLDR; run automated test on codes before deployment, to catch human errors.
