While not exactly a boilerplate, the Gatsby Framework is a powerful and secure open-source React framework for building websites. Compared with other web development architectures such as Jamstack or traditional content management systems like Drupal or WordPress, the Gatsby boilerplate stands out with its custom features like its GraphQL layer that gives your components access to data from anywhere on your website.
In terms of performance, developer experience, and governance, the Gatsby Framework offers excellent functionality and integrated resources. Having been recently acquired by Netlify, Gatsby can support large projects, and all Gatsby Cloud users can easily migrate to Netlify.
You can find robust documentation for any Gatsby framework feature, making it easy to work with. Gatsby’s onsite blog offers tutorials, step-by-step instructions, and how-to guides for building a website. Whether your project includes just a few pages or is a large e-commerce site, Gatsby makes coding and deployment smooth. It has a strong focus on performance, implementing strategies like code splitting and lazy loading for images.
