About:
Zola is a fast static site generator written in Rust, packaged as a single binary with no external dependencies. It uses the Tera template engine and Markdown for content, offering built-in features like syntax highlighting and asset processing. This all-in-one approach simplifies building and deploying secure, high-performance websites.
Key Features:
  • Single binary with zero dependencies
  • Built-in Sass compilation and syntax highlighting
  • Fast build times powered by Rust
  • Integrated asset processing and image resizing
Use Cases:
  • Building personal blogs and documentation sites
  • Hosting developer portfolios on GitHub Pages or Netlify
  • Creating secure, high-performance marketing websites
Alternatives:
  • Hugo – Hugo is significantly faster for massive sites, but Zola offers a simpler configuration and built-in tooling without external dependencies.
  • Jekyll – Jekyll requires a Ruby environment and is slower, whereas Zola provides a faster, dependency-free Rust binary.
