Revalidate() a Page for SSG like Next.js - Invalidate Sanity CDN Cache

Last updated: Jul 20, 2022
nextjs has this cool new feature to revalidate() a page for SSG, which makes it possible to update a single page once the data has changed. So I'm wondering if there is some way to invalidate the sanity CDN cache? Currently, if I have useCdn set to true, the revalidate() option in nextjs just pulls the stale data, currently I can't use the cdn at all because of this limitation.

Hmm, maybe using the CDN is just a bad idea for SSG.

and I discussed it at length in the recent past and our general recommendation is that you shouldn’t use the Sanity CDN in a Next.js setup which uses dynamic revalidation.

Hey
user L
! The cache invalidates any time you publish an edit to a non-draft document, so editing/publishing the new content you're trying to pick up with your
revalidate()
. But

's recommendation here is spot on.
