How to update data on a static site?

I have a site that is mostly static. I feel like astro would be fairly well suited for it. My problem is something about static sites just doesn't click with me. I see all these examples of Blogs for example. How are they adding new posts if a blog is static? Are they redeploying the entire app every time a new post is added?

I have for example a few posts (not many. If things go well, there may be a few thousand) and a few users who manage those posts (again, not many. Maybe a few dozen or a couple hundred way down the line). I need to be able to go into a portal and submit a new post and have that show up without having to redeploy every time (unless there is some trick to make that happen really really fast that I don't know about. And I do have some minimal javascript required such as filtering and sorting and searching as well as analyzing metrics (how many posts there are, how many posts per user, etc.).

Is there something I'm just not getting? I'm just feeling more and more like the t3 stack is overkill for what I'm doing but maybe that's just what is required for something like this?
