Build blazing-fast, modern apps and websites with React
Enjoy the power of the latest web technologies – React.js, Webpack, modern JavaScript and CSS and more — all setup and waiting for you to start building.
Gatsby’s rich data plugin ecosystem lets you build sites with the data you want — from one or many sources: Pull data from headless CMSs, SaaS services, APIs, databases, your file system & more directly into your pages using GraphQL.
Gatsby.js is Internet Scale. Forget complicated deploys with databases and servers and their expensive, time-consuming setup costs, maintenance, and scaling fears. Gatsby.js builds your site as “static” files which can be deployed easily on dozens of services.
Don't build a website with last decade's tech. The future of the web is mobile, JavaScript and APIs—the JAMstack. Every website is a web app and every web app is a website. Gatsby.js is the universal JavaScript framework you’ve been waiting for.
Gatsby.js is a static PWA (Progressive Web App) generator. You get code and data splitting out-of-the-box. Gatsby loads only the critical HTML, CSS, data, and JavaScript so your site loads as fast as possible. Once loaded, Gatsby prefetches resources for other pages so clicking around the site feels incredibly fast.
Gatsby.js builds the fastest possible website. Instead of waiting to generate pages when requested, pre-build pages and lift them into a global cloud of servers — ready to be delivered instantly to your users wherever they are.
Save time and focus on your project's documentation. Simply write docs and blog posts with Markdown and Docusaurus will publish a set of static html files ready to serve.
Extend or customize your project's layout by reusing React. Docusaurus can be extended while reusing the same header and footer.
Localization comes pre-configured. Use Crowdin to translate your docs into over 70 languages.
Support users on all versions of your project. Document versioning helps you keep documentation in sync with project releases.
Make it easy for your community to find what they need in your documentation. We proudly support Algolia documentation search.
