Overview

Gatsby is an incredibly powerful framework for building static websites and applications with React. A recent update has made it even more convenient for developers by integrating functions that enable server-side logic directly within the Gatsby ecosystem. This allows developers to build more dynamic applications while enjoying the performance and simplicity that Gatsby is known for.

The latest features streamline the process of deploying applications to Gatsby Cloud, simplifying workflows and enhancing collaboration among team members. Whether you’re a seasoned developer or just getting started, Gatsby provides a robust platform to quickly spin up projects with ease.

Features

  • Quick Start with Functions: Install Gatsby version 3.4 or higher to leverage built-in functions, enabling server-side capabilities without complex configurations.

  • Seamless Configuration: Easily add functions support by adjusting your gatsby-config.js and setting the FUNCTIONS flag to true.

  • Gatsby Cloud Plugin: Incorporate the gatsby-plugin-gatsby-cloud to ensure smooth routing and integration across builds in the Gatsby Cloud environment.

  • Diverse Examples: Access a comprehensive examples folder that showcases practical implementations for common tasks such as form submissions, email sending, and authentication handling.

  • Rapid Deployment: Each example includes straightforward README instructions for deploying to Gatsby Cloud, making it simple to have a fully functional example site live in minutes.

  • Built-in Version Control: Deploying to Gatsby Cloud automatically generates a GitHub repository, allowing you to pull and edit your code locally for ongoing development.

  • Open Contribution: The platform encourages collaboration by allowing developers to fork the repository and contribute their custom function examples back to the community.
