[@umaannaiyan]

Inspired to Use Gatsby

[@democrats9579]

Could this be an alternative to AEM?

[@blockchainlearning9808]

do i have to generate the whole blog website everytime there is a new post

[@ANILKHANDEI]

best intro!!

[@ahmedelsayed3133]

You left me with more questions that need more explanation like: Where Gatsby JS is stored? And where databases are store? You said that I should use it for its security and speed. Is it more secure and faster than its rivals like Hugo and Next.js, or is that your personal opinion?

[@mitotv6376]

Nice

[@shkico4513]

Static site generating - isn't that what WordPress cache plugins more or less do?

[@Paltibenlaish]

is it like wordpress??

[@noicehockey9920]

👍

[@CHAITHANYAkitta]

great

[@boot-strapper]

Why is this better than just using normal react?

[@Darklor_WCF]

Massively better performance and load times. And sites can be hosted using just S3 if you want. As well as many inherent security advantages due to lack of DB queries

[@olivier5293]

Can we use Vue.js instead of React with Gatsby?

[@soundninja99]

Don't know if you're still interested in thei, but take a look at gridsome.js. It's heavily inspired by Gatsby, but uses vue

[@Horoe]

Regular peopel don't care if it's a wordpress or gatsby site. No one cares about split second speeds. It's not like you are grinding out to get Global Elite on csgo with as max frames as possible.

[@27455628]

I hate to hear when things doesn't have drawback.

[@videoaudio7669]

Too difficult
