I've only done simple stuff with Gatsby, but it fully supports generating static HTML from dynamic data sources. The difference between that and traditional JS frameworks is the generation for Gatsby happens at build time instead of runtime.

I love it because I vastly prefer serving static assets to server-side rendering because of the numerous simplicities it provides (aggressive caching, predictable latency, etc). In most cases you get to have the cake of complex sites generated from template and eat the cake of static asset serving.
