• How GatsbyJS & GraphQL enhance the performance, developer experience and scalability of modern webapps;
• Tayloring GatsbyJS to your own APIs through Source Plugins;
• Progressive refactoring of an existing, complex React webapp.

By the end of the talk, the audience will understand why GatsbyJS may be the next game-changer in terms of performance & DX, when to start with (or migrate over to) GatsbyJS, and how to seamlessly integrate it into their own technical context.
