Gatsby is a modern, open-source framework for building fast, secure, and scalable websites and applications. Built on React, Gatsby combines static site generation with dynamic web development capabilities, providing developers with an efficient and flexible platform to deliver highly performant web experiences. By leveraging GraphQL for data management, Gatsby integrates seamlessly with various data sources, including APIs, content management systems, and databases. Its built-in optimization features, such as code splitting, pre-fetching, and image optimization, ensure lightning-fast load times, making it an excellent choice for creating blogs, e-commerce platforms, and enterprise-level websites.

Features of Gatsby:

• Static site generation for improved performance and SEO optimization.
• Built on React, enabling component-based architecture and dynamic development workflows.
• GraphQL-based data layer for seamless integration with APIs, CMSs, and databases.
• Advanced performance optimization, including code splitting, pre-fetching, and lazy-loading.
• Robust plugin ecosystem to extend functionality and integrate with third-party tools.
• Automatic image optimization for faster load times and enhanced user experience.
• Support for Progressive Web Apps (PWAs), offline functionality, and responsive design.

Credentials for accessing any integrated CMS or external data sources used with Gatsby are typically managed securely within environment files or configuration settings.
