Why I Prefer Gatsby.js

Gatsby.js is a modern website and web application framework built on React, GraphQL, and webpack. It's known for its speed, performance, and ease of use. Gatsby combines the benefits of static site generation with the dynamic capabilities of a JavaScript framework.

Note that there's a trend these days where the line between the front end and back end development has been blurring. Primarily since many of the tasks that fall in the domain of back end developers are being increasingly handled by the front end developers.

As a final aside, there are also full-stack engineers. They are full-stack developers who have project management experience, adept at disciplines in the configuring, managing, and maintaining computer networks and systems.

A designer knows he has achieved perfection not when there is nothing left to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

Every day, the amount of data we need to combine to create experiences is rising. In traditional React applications, managing multiple sources of data could easily become a nightmare & create code that is too complex. Storing, massaging, merging, & querying data all require complicated solutions that struggle to scale. Gatsby.js solves this problem by using GraphQL to unify all data sources into a single data layer. This makes it easy to combine data from CMSs, APIs, databases, & files in a single GraphQL endpoint. Gatsby.js also provides a rich plugin ecosystem that allows you to add various functionalities to your site, from image optimization to analytics.
