Static websites are increasingly popular for the of performance of serving time. But they are on
the other hand relatively difficult to maintain for a non-technical content creators.

Firebase is a suite of services that offers all elements necessary to serve a CMS... and at
virtually infinitly high performance.

What is Tanam

Tanam is providing a platform that server side renders your dynamic content and delivers it with static
site performance straight out of the box. It's a auto-scaling platform that will work just as well for
small personal sites as it will also be able to serve heavy load without breaking a sweat.

The simple way to describe how this is possible is to say that we're using Google's global CDN as our
filesystem for statically generated pages.
All cached content is immediately replaced as you update it. Since we are pre-building
the content, all your URLs will serve instantly as a static website would. Performance only depends
on the size of your page.

The word tanam means "to plant" in Indonesian language. It is how we envision Tanam to be:
just plant the CMS into Firebase and let it grow and scale by itself. There is no need to manage
the resources or configure it for performance.

Does it really cost nothing?

You must still put your project into the Blaze plan, since we're using outgoing HTTP requests to
pre-heat your website's cache. The good thing about the Blaze plan is that it still won't cost you
anything unless you go over the free tier quotas.

Tanam is using fairly little database and cloud function resources since content is only updated
on demand, and as the owner of your website you and your team are the only users that create content.
