As the fastest front-end framework for the headless web, Gatsby pairs well with any headless CMS. That includes the Sanity.io unified content platform, which integrates and works very well with the Gatsby Framework and Gatsby Cloud. If you’re working on a project with Gatsby and Sanity.io, we’ve gathered together a number of helpful resources—from Gatsby, Sanity, and elsewhere—that can help you get up to speed quickly on your next Gatsby and Sanity project. 

Gatsby Resources for Sanity.io Deployments

One of the most useful places to get resources for your Gatsby + Sanity.io deployment is here on the Gatsby website, where we’ve collected a number of useful resources on our Gatsby + Sanity.io landing page. We also offer a more detailed guide focused on Sourcing from Sanity.io that provides additional technical detail (and code samples) on how to connect Gatsby to a new or existing Sanity.io site. If you’d like to use an “Open Preview” button in Sanity Studio when used with Gatsby Cloud, there’s a support doc that can help with that as well. Finally, we’ve recently updated our CMS homepage starters webpage with a section dedicated to Gatsby and Sanity.io
