This is great! Is there any technical limitation keeping this from being part of the open source version?

I get that Gatsby company put a lot of effort into this and wants a return on that investment, and good for them. I assume a third party could offer the same but why would they compete at the same value prop.

However an open source version to not be reliant on any company would be compelling to many.

We recently introduced build optimizations for incremental data changes for self-hosted environments: https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/page-build-optimizations-for-i... and are continuing to improve build speed across platforms.

To reliably provide near real-time deployments, we need tight integration with the CI/CD environment to optimize and parallelize the work; that's why you’ll see the fastest builds and deploys through Gatsby Cloud — the platform is purpose built for Gatsby!
