Gatsby

React-based framework for building websites from a GraphQL data layer, pre-rendered at build time or rendered on request.

Gatsby is a React framework for websites. It pulls content into a GraphQL data layer and generates pages from it at build time. It builds on React, webpack and GraphQL, and its default output is static files. Pages can also be rendered on request or produced with Deferred Static Generation. Gatsby, Inc. is part of Netlify, and the Netlify adapter is the only official deployment adapter the docs name.

Worth knowing

Gatsby Cloud is discontinued, and its customers were pointed to Netlify. Pages rendered on request or with Deferred Static Generation need the build server to keep running, so static hosting covers only the static output.
