Gatsby is a modern static site generator built on React that helps developers build blazing fast websites and web applications.

Gatsby's plugin ecosystem allows for easy integration of additional functionalities like image optimization, PWA support, and content management systems.

Compared to traditional CMS platforms like WordPress or Drupal, Gatsby offers better performance, scalability, and security due to its static site generation approach.
