GatsbyJS was born in May 2015 as a simple way to build a website with React. Over the last three years, tens of thousands of developers have used Gatsby to build websites from blogs and portfolio pages to company homepages and e-commerce applications.

In early 2018, GatsbyJS core contributors, including creator & lead maintainer Kyle Mathews, formed Gatsby Inc to help website development teams build CMS-powered websites with modern tooling.

WHY GETSBY

Rich Web Experiences :

Gatsby has an innovative data layer built on GraphQL that allows developers to easily combine data from different sources and render them alongside each other. Add content to one site from a Shopify store, a WordPress blog, and some JSON from a payment processor all in a consistent manner - unleashing new marketing and design possibilities.

Unparalleled Speed & Responsiveness It’s hard to describe how fast and smooth a Gatsby site is. It combines static-site generation and intelligent page rendering to selectively preload only the content that matters - give you a blazing fast website that feels incredibly smooth. But just check out DigitalOcean, Figma, Tyson, and other top online businesses to see why speed matters. Websites that are fast perform better in search engines, usability scores, and in converting visitors to customers.
