Gatsby Resources

Gatsby is in maintenance mode: Netlify acquired Gatsby Inc. in February 2023, Gatsby Cloud was shut down in September 2023, and Gatsby 5 remains the last major release. The links below are the ones we actually use when we assess, maintain, and migrate Gatsby sites in 2026. We removed the old gatsbyjs.org deep links (they now all redirect to the gatsbyjs.com home page) and the defunct scotch.io tutorial.

Gatsby status and official docs

• Gatsby documentation — still the reference for Gatsby 5 APIs, plugins, and adapters
• Gatsby version support policy — which versions still receive fixes
• Migrating from Gatsby 4 to 5 — if you are still on v4, this is the first step before anything else
• Gatsby adapters — how Gatsby 5 deploys to Netlify and other hosts now that Gatsby Cloud is gone
• Gatsby Cloud sunset announcement — Netlify's own write-up of the shutdown
• Gatsby on GitHub — source, issues, and release notes
• "Is GatsbyJS officially dead?" (GitHub discussion #39062) — the community's own read on the framework's status

Migration targets

• Astro: Migrating from Gatsby — the official Astro guide; our default target for content-heavy sites
• Astro content collections — where your Gatsby GraphQL content queries end up
• Astro images — the gatsby-plugin-image replacement
• Next.js migration guides — the official App Router migration guides; Next.js is our default target for app-like sites
• Next.js generateStaticParams — the App Router equivalent of Gatsby's createPages
• Next.js Metadata API — replaces hand-rolled SEO components

Hosting after Gatsby Cloud

• gatsby-adapter-netlify — Netlify's adapter for Gatsby 5 (DSG, SSR, redirects, headers)
• Gatsby on Vercel
• Gatsby on Cloudflare Pages
• Gatsby on AWS Amplify
• Gatsby on S3 + CloudFront
