Sanity is a backend (headless) CMS that can be used with Gatbsy for a structured approach to managing web content and data.

Gatsby is one of the most popular React-based frameworks for creating websites and apps. Although hailed for its speed in any deployment environment, Kyle Mathews (CEO, Gatsby) recently warned that build time could be negatively impacted with the release of incremental builds on Gatsby Cloud.

If you’ve used Gatsby, or any other SSG for that matter, you know that as sites get larger, build times tend to increase_._ This is a result of increased application size, which is dependent on the amount of content it accommodates and how much rendering must take place. There are many ways to try to optimize site performance, one of which is through using a backend-only (referred to as “headless”) content management system.

In this article, we will discuss using the headless CMS, Sanity, with Gatsby to improve site efficiency, productivity, and speed through a structured approach to content management.
