Comment by John Lombardo on "Next.js Team AMA, Ask us Anything!"

Hello! Our recently announced RFC for Incremental Static Generation in Next.js covers this exact use case.

This RFC allows you to specify an interval on which the page is rebuilt, and is paused when no users are visiting the page (to reduce API calls to your CMS). This is an eager approach (compared to an event-driven approach) which we argue is a better foundation to start from.

We'll absolutely be looking at allowing you to rebuild pages on-demand via a webhook, but we think of this more as an optimization for the future.
