Their competitor Vercel has NextJS so they decided to buy Gatsby ?

I feel like the acquisition is more focused on Gatsby Cloud than Gatsby (the framework).

Hopefully they got a good deal! Personally I don’t understand the value proposition.

I would have preferred more support for 11ty or SolidStart since they employ the creators of those two frameworks already.

They have an in-house framework person with Ryan Carniato (Solid JS) and in-house SSG expertise with Zach Leatherman (11ty).

I think this rounds out more in the CMS / React realm, which gives them a direct line to compete with Next.js
