About this book
You'll learn to reduce reliance on tools that are bloated, prone to being hacked, and not the most efficient, and move over to the newest framework on the block. You'll also see how to use the Gatsby framework to rapidly create and deploy e-commerce sites that are performant and secure, with the minimum of fuss.
Understand how to source data, build a catalog, add a blog, finesse your site (including performance), implement the checkout and payment processes with the help of third-party tools such as Stripe, and deploy to production. Finally, you'll learn how to migrate existing WooCommerce sites to Gatsby, and adapt for mobile.
Gatsby is fast and does away with the need for databases, thereby removing one of the biggest weak spots in any e-commerce site. It is based on Node.js and JavaScript, making it easy to extend and customize as requirements dictate. Learn to make your customers’ lives easier and simpler using this book today.
