Common Questions

: Gatsby is an open-source, free, and React-based framework that can be used with almost any CMS. Gatsby is used as a front-end framework, and is a popular selection when moving to composable architecture or the Jamstack paradigm. Gatsby provides the functionality to generate a static web application which loads very quickly on browsers.
: Gatsby JS is a headless front-end JavaScript framework built on top of React, and Like many others, it promises a no vendor lock-in approach for your technical architecture stack. It is entirely possible to swap out Gatsby JS for a different JS-based front end framework. Things that will be impacted include usage of Gatsby APIs and its plugin ecosystem. However if your architecture follows the composable architecture paradigm, chances are the migration effort will be manageable.

: Gatsby is often compared to NextJS, but Gatsby is much more suitable for small-scale and static websites. Gatsby also has a stricter data handling protocol.

: Dynamic Content: Gatsby generates static HTML pages, which makes it unsuitable for websites that require dynamic content.
Limited Server-side Capabilities: Gatsby is a static site generator, which means that it has limited server-side capabilities and may not be suitable for websites that require advanced server-side functionality.
Steep Learning Curve: Gatsby's reliance on modern web technologies such as React, GraphQL, and CSS-in-JS can make it challenging for developers who are not familiar with these tools.
Complex Build Process: Gatsby's build process can be complex, especially for larger and more complex websites, which can make it more difficult to troubleshoot and optimize.
Performance Overhead: Gatsby's build process generates a large number of static files, which can result in significant performance overhead, especially for large and complex websites.
Limited Support for Legacy Browsers: Gatsby relies on modern web technologies and may not provide full support for older browsers, which could limit its usability for some users.
