Gatsby is an open-source static site generator built on React and Node.js that creates fast pre-rendered websites.

It supports React components, includes built-in image optimization and lazy loading, offers more than 3,000 plugins for SEO, analytics and CMS support, and integrates a GraphQL data layer to pull content from headless CMS or APIs.
