You can even make your deployment easier by using a static site generator like Hugo.
Ghost also supports creating static sites, although I haven't gone that route.
Hugo is a valid option though!

I was super impressed by how fast your blog loaded, but then I got caught in some sort of loop on this page [1], which won’t load.
Also appreciate your comments on how fast it can load! I've been vehemently working on load times across all my websites for over a year now.
Working on a blog post on how I could reduce load times and make it portable, scalable, and reliable (the server itself).
Thanks for the feedback!
My bad!
Made this post a while back and I used 10+ repl.it embedded editors.
Although it does seem to load eventually, I should update it to use some better editor that loads faster!
Running it on https://sdan.xyz/blog and it's fantastic. I get RSS/subscriptions (https://sdan.xyz/subscribe)/podcasts/a whole plethora of integrations super easily.
And since it's self hosted, you don't need to worry about it ever going down (unlike if Able.bio ever does).
Also, Lighthouse gives Ghost blogs top scores as well :).
