goldstack VS Gatsby

I don't want to spend a lot of time discussing his specific example, except to say that if you are worried about "extensive configuration," and you deploy your serverless apps with Terraform or raw CloudFormation, you are going to have a bad time. If you use an IaC generator like Serverless Framework, you can have a serverless app running in production in an hour.

Infrastructure Complexity: Serverless computing emerged as a simplified approach to application development, but the infrastructure it requires can be unexpectedly complex. Tasks like setting up an API gateway with Lambdas can result in extensive configuration, increasing brittleness and the learning curve for developers.

I completed the upgrade and released this in version 0.5.0 of Goldstack.

If you have any question or comments, please reach out or raise an issue 🤗.

Thus, I started the process of developing a server-side rendering friendly template a few months ago. I released this template a while ago and have since also completed the implementation of the new version of my blog. This post contains my experiences and learnings from this process.

For any suggestions, ideas and comments, please be welcome to head to GitHub and create an issue 🤗.

See a full source code example here: lambdaCompression.ts

The above template and boilerplate are regularly updated and automatically tested (project install & standing up infrastructure). If you nonetheless encounter any problems, please raise an issue on GitHub.

Consider helping out making this template better for others by raising an issue in GitHub if you encounter any problems or have questions or ideas.

The above assumes that there is a local .aws/config and/or .aws/credentials file present. Note that the AWS credentials in awsUser can be initialised in many different ways, see the file awsUserUtils.ts for reference or the AWS documentation on Setting SDK Credentials in Node.js.

The first time I started building static websites is when I discovered Gatsby. I built several projects using Gatsby and hosted it on Netlify free tier. It felt like a really robust architecture and I loved that it was free.

A Gatsby site uses Gatsby, which leverages React and GraphQL to create fast and optimized web experiences. Gatsby is often used for building static websites, progressive web apps (PWAs), and even full-blown dynamic web applications.

While Next.js is a powerful framework for building server-rendered React applications, it's not the only option for developers looking to create high-performance websites. One notable alternative is Gatsby, a static site generator that leverages React and GraphQL.

The other piece of important information to acknowledge here is that when we say RSCs need a framework, “framework” effectively just means “Next.js.” There are some smaller frameworks (like Waku) that support RSCs. There are also some larger and more established frameworks (like Redwood) that have plans to support RSCs or (like Gatsby) only support RSCs in beta. We will likely see this change once we get React 19 and RSCs are part of the Stable version. However, for now, Next.js is currently the only framework recommended in the official React docs that supports server components.

GatsbyjsCMS - Gatsby is the fast and flexible framework that makes building websites with any CMS, API, or database fun again. Build and deploy headless websites that drive more traffic, convert better, and earn more revenue!

GatsbyJS

Babel plugins are everywhere. From being used to remove unwanted exports from files in Gatsby to being used to disallow users from doing re-exports in Nextjs.

In terms of GitHub stars, SSGs like Next.js, Hugo, Gatsby, Docusaurus, Nuxt.js, and Jekyll top the list. Some popular SSGs even host conferences and workshops, providing resources and networking opportunities for those looking to explore more advanced topics in depth.

Flexibility : Developers have complete control over the frontend so they can use their preferred tools and frameworks like React, Next.js, Gatsby, or Remix.
