  Gatsby is an open-source, React-based framework for building fast, secure,
  content-driven websites and applications using GraphQL data sourcing,
  static site generation (SSG), server-side rendering (SSR), and deferred
  static generation (DSG). Gatsby is now stewarded by Netlify, which acquired
  the company in 2023 and sunset the hosted Gatsby Cloud build and preview
  service, migrating customers to Netlify's unified platform. Gatsby itself
  is a build-time framework and does not expose a public hosted REST API;
  integrations are performed locally through its GraphQL data layer and
  plugin ecosystem.

    name: Gatsby GraphQL Data Layer
    description: >-
      Local, build-time GraphQL data layer exposed by the Gatsby framework to
      query content sourced from plugins (CMSs, filesystem, APIs). This is
      not a hosted public API; it runs inside a developer's Gatsby project
      during development and build. The hosted Gatsby Cloud Build API was
      sunset following Netlify's acquisition.
