Launch Week: The Latest Updates to Gatsby Cloud and the Gatsby Framework

Gatsby has rolled out a series of enhancements to its Gatsby Framework and Gatsby Cloud, aiming to improve performance and usability for developers, marketers, and enterprise clients. The new Gatsby Script Component allows for better management of third-party scripts, enhancing site performance by offloading resource-intensive tasks to web workers with native experimental support for Partytown. The introduction of GraphQL Type Generation offers TypeScript developers auto-completion support, ensuring type safety while crafting queries. Enterprise clients benefit from faster build times with the new Enterprise Builds, improved log analysis with integration to Datadog, and enhanced global performance with additional international Points of Presence. Gatsby has also achieved SOC 2 Type 2 Certification, ensuring robust IT security standards. The Image CDN is now generally available, optimizing image processing and reducing load times, while Incremental Deploys are in beta for all build types, further decreasing publish times for large sites. The company is also focusing on agencies by developing a new pricing plan and introducing the Gatsby Agency Directory to connect agencies with potential clients. These updates are part of Gatsby's ongoing efforts to provide a fast, scalable, and secure platform for building headless web experiences.
