Why Gatsby, specifically?

This seems like an odd choice.

[onion2k]

I think it's an acquihire. They don't necessarily want Gatsby. They want the team who built Gatsby.

I'm surprised this was the only other comment so far about it. It has to be an acquihire. Gatsby is a dead framework going forward.

[Alifatisk]

Why do you call it a dead framework?

[goodoldneon]

Why is it dead?

Check the 5 year chart trajectory: https://npmtrends.com/gatsby-vs-next

What are the alternatives?

[reducesuffering]

Next.js the comparison shown in those charts

[crummy]

Astro.build perhaps

[nsonha]

try it and you'll see, also have you heard the name Gatsby in the past 2 years? I think not.

[ferdowsi]

Strange time to do an acquihire given that Netlify just had a round of layoffs.

[bdcravens]

Just means Gatsby's talent is more desired than those they employed.

[winrid]

Gatsby Cloud, maybe?

Reserving judgements is a matter of infinite hope.
