A common question from developers new to Gatsby is, “Why does Gatsby use GraphQL?”

On the surface, this can seem like an odd choice: Gatsby generates static assets, and GraphQL is for APIs, so how do they fit together? Isn’t it overkill to add a GraphQL layer if we’re just creating a static website?

In this presentation, you’ll learn:

- The complexity of data management (even on small sites!)
- How this creates friction and maintenance overhead over time
- How GraphQL tames this complexity
