The Essential Gatsby plugin is now available in General Availability on Netlify, offering auto-detection of the framework and installation with zero configuration. This saves developers a round trip to the build plugins library and enables features like Gatsby Functions, Incremental Builds, and Image Caching. To get started, create a new site from Git and let Netlify do the rest. However, users who have been using the old Gatsby cache plugin should uninstall it as it is now officially deprecated. The plugin has rolled in all of its goodness along with new support for Gatsby Functions.
