#22Gatsby is popular among frontend React devs although I kind of balk at end to end solutions like this. Nice alternatives to Gatsby are React-static and next.js

#23I love Gatsby. We are about to release a new landing version of https://Standups.io entirely with it. Blog and help center. We got rid of intercom guide :)
Parse.ly also just released their new landing page all done with Gatsby.

#24> which promises that it allows these companies to do away with their old LAMP stack and move to a more modern stack, based on modern open-source tools and engineering practices. LAMP stack is open source...
The implication in the sentence is that LAMP is an old open-source stack, whereas Gatsby is new open-source

Linux - Gatsby doesn't run on Linux?
Apache - Gatsby doesn't run behind a load balancer (apache/nginx) with proxy_pass?
MySql - Gatsby doesn't persist data into a database (MySql/Postgres)?
PHP - I'll give you that PHP is out and node.js is in for backend development.

#27This is extremely surprising, right? I clicked the headline thinking it was a shame some tech company chose the same name as a fairly popular static site generator. I guess when I see things like $50/mo for them to host a site, I just assume it's an extremely small team with a couple clients.
It seems nowadays pretty much anything tech-related in a fancy wording and box, can get funding. Gatsby at least solves some real problems.
We’ve been there before, and we know how that story ends.

#29I wonder who the market for Gatsby is. I considered signing up for them for a somewhat simple markdown-powered blog, but ultimately ended up writing my own solution because I couldn’t justify the cost. The documentation for the self-hosted solution seems designed to put you off doing it yourself.
very curious about this as well, given that price point and targeting the developer market
