What’s happening here?

I have decided to move my website to Gatsby.js. Gatsby.js, a React framework that I’ve been following for a while, announced its stable version 1.0.0 in recent months.

Until now, React has been my first choice for creating SPAs. It will still be my go-to for a comprehensive project, but the need for some initial optimizations has led to the emergence of new frameworks. For example, Gatsby offers powerful plugins for search engine optimization. It’s possible to easily add a sitemap, generate an RSS feed, and edit meta tags through a file.

In addition, since Gatsby pre-processes during the build, it offers faster page loading. This is cited as an important criterion in the scoring that affects search engine indexing. Providing GraphQL support will be a new experience for me, as I’ve been working with REST until now.

Another positive factor of Gatsby is its large and active community. This means I think I can quickly find solutions to any problems I encounter. Also, it’s possible to kickstart a project quickly thanks to ready-made templates and themes. The flexibility and performance it offers in static site generation have especially encouraged me to try this tool.

Moreover, new horizons are opening in data management with GraphQL. It’s becoming possible to overcome some limitations of REST APIs and make more flexible queries. This can positively affect the application’s performance and user experience.

Transitioning to Gatsby.js will both develop me technically and enhance the performance and visibility of my website.
