Congrats on the release! Looks great.

Looks like Gatsby has raised a ~4m seed. I'm curious: how does Gatsby (the company) make/plan to make revenue from Gatsby (the library)? Support, hosting, or something else?

We're building cloud products which complement the OSS product.

We launched our product, Gatsby Preview, into alpha in July https://www.gatsbyjs.org/blog/2018-07-17-announcing-gatsby-p...

A lot of people really love building sites with headless CMSs and Gatsby. Gatsby Preview gives content editors live preview of changes they're making in the CMS on a real version of the site.

We launched with support for Contentful and are adding support for other headless CMSs along with traditional CMSs running in headless mode like Drupal and WordPress.

There's an interview discussing that here, if you're interested: https://changelog.com/podcast/306
