# gatsby

Gatsby is a React-based static site and web application framework that pulls data from many sources (CMSs, APIs, Markdown) through a GraphQL data layer and pre-renders pages for fast, SEO-friendly delivery. It pioneered the "build-time data sourcing + hydration" model for content-heavy sites.

## Read docs at [https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs](https://www.gatsbyjs.com/docs)

We intend the docs to be read on gatsbyjs.com — You can read them here of course
:-) Just be warned that links won't often work and other things will be missing
or less than optimal.

Go forth and build cool stuff.
