Gatsby’s data layer makes rebuilds precise and efficient. This is how we can publish CMS changes to the CDN in one second — even for very large sites. The data layer also helps Gatsby scale to large sites rebuilding sites as much as 20x faster than other SSGs.

After first releasing Recipes in April, we learned a lot from early adopters, testers and community members creating and contributing their own Recipes (thanks!) for automating common Gatsby site building chores.
