I also went with a static site generator during my own blog upgrade and chose Hexo.

My tech stack is: Hexo Markdown Node.js Heroku

Here is my whole story!

I discovered Hexo when I decided to build myself a micro-blogging site about my code learning experiences 3 years ago. I was impressed with the whole experience then - I was after a simple-yet-not-stupid static site generator and that's what Hexo gave me. I did have to write my own tooling to get the site to deploy to AWS S3 but I assume that they will have a plugin for that sort of scenario nowadays.
