What is GatsbyJS?

Gatsby is a free and open source framework based on React that helps developers build blazing fast websites and apps

Gatsby’s rich data plugin ecosystem lets you build sites with the data you want — from one or many sources: Pull data from headless CMSs, SaaS services, APIs, databases, your file system, and more directly into your pages using GraphQL
