Gatsby Launches: A Refresher and Forward Pointer
summary
Gatsby reports concrete wins: 50–70% faster builds, 30–40% faster JS bundling and ~20% faster GraphQL queries across v3 minor releases, plus Gatsby Image and Cloud hosting on Fastly. Cloud adds manual publishes, a one‑click Deploy Now badge and a Shopify headless starter. A demo wires a filesystem API route to SendGrid as a Gatsby Function, hot reloads locally, deploys to Cloud and invokes the subscribe endpoint which finishes in under one second, proving the flow works.
