Hugo

Hugo is a fast and modern static site generator written in Go, and designed to make website creation fun again. Websites built with Hugo are extremely fast and secure.

An alternative solution for open source project might be prismic.io.

Hugo builds pages when you create or update your content. Since websites are viewed far more often than they are edited, Hugo is designed to provide an optimal viewing experience for your website’s end users and an ideal writing experience for website authors - gohugo.io

Hugo sites can be hosted anywhere, including Netlify, Heroku, GoDaddy, DreamHost, GitHub Pages, Surge, Aerobatic, Firebase, Google Cloud Storage, Amazon S3, Rackspace, Azure, and CloudFront and work well with CDNs.

Hugo sites run without the need for a database or dependencies on expensive runtimes like Ruby, Python, or PHP.

Hugo includes a development server, so you can view your changes as you go :

Now you can go to localhost:1313 and the kube theme should be visible.

There is a reasonable range of existing hugo themes, but it is a simple task to create your own:
