Summary

Gatsby has evolved from a Static Site Generator to a Reactive Site Generator, now offering features like Deferred Static Generation and Server-Side Rendering, which necessitate more complex deployment processes. To facilitate easier deployment and hosting across various platforms, Gatsby has introduced Gatsby Adapters, which convert Gatsby's production output into a format compatible with different deployment environments. These adapters enable zero-configuration deployments on popular platforms, such as Netlify, by automatically handling tasks like setting HTTP headers, managing redirects, and wrapping serverless functions. The update to Gatsby 5.12.0 allows users to use and create custom adapters, further enhancing the framework's adaptability and integration capabilities. Gatsby Adapters are part of a broader vision to ensure the framework's robustness and efficiency in the web development ecosystem, with ongoing efforts to expand its functionality and support.
