I actually have createPage as as separate module, then in development you can have a simple little express server that builds pages on demand:

import express from "express";
import path from "path";
import createPage from "./createPage.mjs";

const __dirname = path.resolve();

let app = express();
app.use(express.static("public"));
app
  .get("*", async (req, res) => {
    let slug = req.url.replace(/^\//, "");
    let page = path.join(
      __dirname,
      "articles",
      (slug === "" ? "index" : slug) + ".md"
    );
    let body = await createPage(page);
    res.send(body);
  })
  .listen(3000);
