I wonder who the market for Gatsby is.

I considered signing up for them for a somewhat simple markdown-powered blog, but ultimately ended up writing my own solution because I couldn’t justify the cost. The documentation for the self-hosted solution seems designed to put you off doing it yourself.



My personal site is running Gatsby on Netlify, I haven't paid for anything except my domain. I'm not the biggest fan of Gatsby, but it's pretty decent for some projects.


I'm missing something from the picture I guess, but what service they offer for 50 bucks/month if you could host your static page built with Gatsby literaly anywhere for much less / free?


Web development agencies, for one


very curious about this as well, given that price point and targeting the developer market


What cost? Gatsby is free.
