Is it possible to generate a static sitemap? Because as far as I understood, the sitemap is generated during the runtime... is that right or am I missing something?

you can create a [sitemap.xml](https://nextjs.org/docs/app/api-reference/file-conventions/metadata/sitemap) in the root of your
app directory. Then just write the stuff down that you want to have in there.3 Replies

is that a good practice to fetch data from my database and then generate it dinamically? if so, will this data be generated everytime when I get a request to this file?
