...any backend that is a content-heavy website? Or are they somehow also abstracting away the application logic?

How is this different from a CDN cache?

Typically CDN caches are cleared after X amount of time, or are cleared manually. This solution generates your entire website as static HTML and viewer requests never actually reach the backend.

It also makes sure your whole website is cached at build time instead of needing a first request to generate the cache
