Gatsby VS Express

The first step to building a Jamstack website is choosing a static site generator (SSG). There are many different options available, each with its pros and cons. The most popular include Jekyll, Hugo, Gatsby, Next.js, and Nuxt.js. Following an introduction tutorial and building a small project is the best way to get your feet wet. CloudCannon offers learning path tutorials for Jekyll and Hugo for those getting started.

Gatsby is a popular open source framework built on react that helps developers build fast, modern websites and applications. Gatsby provides several rendering options.

Next, I rebuilt my website with Gatsby and got exposure to GraphQL. This was a game-changer for me as it opened up a whole new way to handle data and Gatsby allowed me to build even more dynamic and interactive pages with React.

Gatsby is the one I'm familiar with. https://www.gatsbyjs.com

That's all we need todo to run our Medusa server locally. Medusa provides different storefronts which are based on Gatsby or Next.js we'll cover in later parts howto setup a storefrontend.

Gatsby as a static site generator

Node is basically back-end Javascript. While powerful alone, almost exclusively you will use a back-end framework like Next.js or Gatsby when using React, and then maybe Nuxt or Gridsome in Vue.

Tools and Frameworks such as Gatsby, Nextjs, Hugo are great choices for creating static sites.

If you want to build static website, use headless Wordpress and Graphql then I'd go for Gatsby

To learn more about Express.Js framework, you can check out the docs here

Though any traditional server environment will enable this, I used Node as it's close to Deno and simple to use. With a few lines of code, an express server that creates a single client on start will enable any incoming request to reuse the same connection. Adding some simple routing to detect request params and respond with what Redis returns then lets allows the cache requests in Deno to be swapped with GET requests to this server.

Set up a backend server with Express.js.

Since we are going to try to render errors from the server to our views, we must have a basic understanding of Express.js in setting up a server.

Medusa is based on Node.js and the web framework Express medusajs is hosted on GitHub and written in TypeScript.

ExpressJS is a fast, minimalist framework that provides several features for building web applications in Node.js, CORS is a Node.js package that allows communication between different domains, and Nodemon is a Node.js tool that automatically restarts the server after detecting file changes.
