We are building a number of new sites using the amazing GatsbyJS project. The more we work with Gatsby the more we love admire the project. If you have a sluggish site, a decoupled Drupal 8 and GatsbyJS site is the way to go.

GatsbyJS is a React static site generator. It turns a dynamic Drupal website into a static site. This produces a blazing fast site with added security benefits, since the there is no php processing nor mysql queries.

Kyle Mathews, the founder of the Gatsby project, explains the benefits of using GatsbyJS with Drupal8.
