The data we were using didn't change more than a few times a week. So we would generate JSON files using Python and the Google Sheets API. Since we never had to hit the Google Sheets API in any live fashion, it was basically small cached data files.

This was fine even as we approached >100K monthly uniques.

We moved more the data to our CMS as traffic grew for ease of use, but we could have used this method basically indefinitely.
