Announcing support for natively querying 3rd-party GraphQL APIs with Gatsby

Gatsby, a framework aimed at creating highly performant websites and apps by integrating data and code, now supports native querying of third-party GraphQL APIs with its 2.0 release. This update introduces experimental schema stitching, simplifying the process of incorporating external GraphQL APIs into Gatsby's internal schema, which previously required custom source plugins. The new gatsby-source-graphql plugin allows easy connection to any GraphQL API through straightforward configuration in the gatsby-config.js file, eliminating the need to prefetch data and enabling on-demand data queries. This development aligns with Gatsby's vision of facilitating seamless integration of diverse data sources, as more services are adopting native GraphQL APIs. The enhancement not only streamlines workflows but also opens up new possibilities for plugin authors to create advanced GraphQL functionalities.
