An interesting post titled “An Honest Review of Gatsby” by David Cramer, Founder/CTO of Sentry (an application monitoring platform helps every developer diagnose, fix, and optimize the performance of their code) where he discusses on the flaws of Gatsby as a framework.
It’s a static website generator. It literally does not need GraphQL all over the place. While there are few instances in the real world where that is valuable, it shouldn’t require a GraphQL API to read objects that are already in memory. David Cramer, Founder/CTO of Sentry
I couldn’t agree more on this point, which I too feel that the GraphQL may not be necessary in simple Gatsby powered WordPress sites. That could be made simpler without it so that Gatsby could be made more attractive to non-JavaScript users.
