How to get new posts to appear in production?

Hi, I'm new to Next.js. I tied to deploy the blog on VPS and want to ask if there's a way to get new posts (new .mdx files), or changes inside the .mdx files, accesible in production without the need to run npm run build && npm run serve again?

No, you will have to rebuild and serve. If you are worried about downtime, you could build it in a separate folder and copy the assets over.

Do you mean we could just copy the .next folder?

You would have to do some Googling to figure what's the best way to push a developing nextjs instance to production with no downtime on a self-hosted machine or ask on the nextjs github page instead since this is not specific to the template.

Do you mean on every update or when we want to add new pots we have to rebuild the project?
