StaticCraft | GatsbyJS Services

Gatsby has been in maintenance mode since Netlify's 2023 acquisition: Gatsby Cloud is gone, Gatsby 5 (November 2022) was the last major release, and the community's advice in 2026 is to stop starting new Gatsby projects. That does not mean your existing Gatsby site has to die. StaticCraft helps teams keep Gatsby sites healthy and secure, and plan zero-SEO-loss migrations to Astro or Next.js when the time is right.

Our consultants work as part of your existing development team / process or as a stand alone resource, ensuring the highest standards of communication throughout the project.

What we do

Gatsby migration services — assessment, target selection (Astro for content sites, Next.js for app-like sites), URL-parity and 301 planning, structured data and Core Web Vitals before/after
Gatsby maintenance & rescue — keep legacy Gatsby 4/5 sites building on current Node, patch vulnerable dependencies, fix broken builds, and host after Gatsby Cloud
Modern static-first / composable architecture: pre-rendered pages, headless content, API-driven functionality, edge delivery
GraphQL data layer work on existing Gatsby sites — APIs, databases, file system, markdown, headless CMS's and SaaS sources
Deployment to modern hosts: Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare Workers/Pages, AWS Amplify, GitHub Pages, and S3 + CloudFront
Performance and offline capabilities — image pipelines, prefetching, caching and service workers where they still earn their keep
Template based site design for large numbers of similar static sites
Serverless delivery — no servers or databases to keep up; your site is up all the time
React componentization, including Gatsby component ecosystem replacements and Vite-era tooling in migration targets
Custom NodeJS and React development services
SEO friendly deployments, redirect maps and sitemap parity

How an engagement starts

Every engagement starts with a short assessment of your current site: plugin inventory, GraphQL surface, build health, hosting, and the traffic that matters most to you. From there we recommend one of two paths — stabilize now and migrate later, or migrate directly — with a fixed scope and a clear definition of done.
