What is Gatsby js? This tool can be used to create static sites that are progressive web applications, following the latest web standards and optimized for high performance.
It makes use of the most recent and popular technologies, including ReactJS, Webpack, GraphQL, modern ES6 + JavaScript and CSS. It uses a powerful pre-configuration to create a website that uses only static files for high-speed page loads, service workers, code division, server-side representation, intelligent image loading, asset optimization and data pre-search.
When coding and developing your site, Gatsby js transforms it into a directory with a single HTML file and its static assets. This folder is uploaded to your favorite hosting provider, and that's it.
The advantage of a static content generator is that it produces lightweight sites because they store all the content in plain text format, in the system's files, and therefore does not need a database.
