Cloud Rendering Service
The Cloud Rendering Service is not offered anymore.
For maximum flexibility, Storyblok can be integrated into your application or website retrieving content from our API. But for those who want a website and don't want to handle another webserver, we offer a cloud rendering service as an opt-in head to our headless CMS. You can create a full blown website hosted on Storyblok's webservers and use it for hosting your single page application or create websites with the template language Liquid.
Tech Spec
The Cloud Rendering Service uses an implementation of Liquid - those who already worked with Shopify should already be familiar with that.

Rolling Cache Invalidation
With our Rendering Service you automatically receive our Cache Invalidation Strategie - you may notice that we will append a script tag with /_storyblok_cache.js
that allows us to invalidate the cache after the first visit. That means that that some may receive an old version, but the invalidation process will be triggered and after a short amount of time the new version will be loaded by everyone, best thing about that is that after revisiting the site the new version will also be loaded before the invalidation took place. This allows you to have maximum performance by minimizing API requests!
