You’ve probably heard of GatsbyJS been the modern way of building websites that deliver better performance.

You can think of Gatsby as a React framework for building complex websites and web apps. With Gatsby, you are not limited to static sites, you can build a blog site, e-commerce or any complex website using the latest tools like React, GraphQL, headless CMSs etc. Gatsby has become so popular because it is really fast, easy to work with and allows us to manage contents from different sources.

This type of site leverage the benefits of static sites and dynamic sites. It is well known that static sites are more secure, cheaper to manage and faster compared to dynamic sites. But managing the content in this type of site was its major setback. This is one of the reasons why CMS like WordPress became popular. The site owners want a nice interface to manage their content instead of modifying the content files.

Now, with Gatsby, you’ll be able to source dynamic content and have a nice editing interface to manage them. Besides, you will have a site that behaves like a single page application – i.e you can navigate your site pages without page reload, making the site super-fast. If you are a technical person, you can source your content from the Markdown filesystem. Otherwise, you can source your content from CMSs like Contentful, WordPress or Drupal.
