Growing with Gatsby
summary
Chronicles how Gatsby shifts from a static site generator into a hybrid platform: uses MDX and Gatsby themes to share UI and config across sites, stitches Contentful, Shopify, Google Sheets and a custom Trustpilot plugin via GraphQL createResolvers, and hosts and builds on gatsby cloud for much faster builds. Implements client-side hydration with apollo client to keep inventory and discounts live, secures portals with Netlify Identity, and proves an image‑heavy jewelry storefront with tens of thousands of reviews can build and serve performantly.
