Building a static blog using Gatsby and Strapi

Pierre Burgy's guide on building a static blog using Gatsby and Strapi highlights the process of integrating these two powerful open-source tools to create a fast, secure, and easy-to-maintain blog site. Static websites, known for their speed and security, can be enhanced by using Gatsby, a React-based framework that generates static pages, and Strapi, a headless CMS that simplifies content management through a user-friendly interface. The tutorial walks users through setting up a Strapi project to manage content types and permissions, and then integrating it with a Gatsby project to fetch and display this content using GraphQL. It also covers creating individual page views for articles and authors, utilizing Gatsby's image handling capabilities, and suggests potential expansions such as adding categories and a comment system. The tutorial is designed to be followed through both text and accompanying video content, providing a comprehensive learning experience for beginners and intermediate users interested in leveraging the combined benefits of static site generation and headless CMS architectures.
