Gatsby is a modern static site generator built on React that helps developers build fast and optimized websites. It leverages GraphQL for data fetching, allowing for efficient content management and dynamic data sourcing. Gatsby's plugin ecosystem provides extensive functionality for adding features like image optimization, SEO, and progressive web app capabilities.

Compared to traditional static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo, Gatsby offers a more flexible and feature-rich development experience. It enables server-side rendering for dynamic content, code splitting for performance optimization, and seamless integration with various data sources.
