Jekyll VS Gatsby

Jekyll

Jekyll is a static site generator that is open source and free. Jekyll may be used to create websites with robust and user-friendly navigation, much like a content management system (like Drupal and WordPress).

Without a database or any server-side code, Jekyll enables you to dynamically create a website or blog and then serve it statically.


This indicates that the finished product is quite effective, especially for blogs with large traffic, while typical dynamic blogging systems like WordPress require several tricks and optimization strategies to function well.

Gatsby

Gatsby is a frontend development framework called React-based static site generator (SSG) that leverages GraphQL and Webpack.

A static site that adheres to the most recent web standards is extremely performant, and is built using Gatsby can be a Progressive Web App. Since many developers are either familiar with or have at least utilized a portion of the technology stack Gatsby is based on, they may jump in without much of a learning curve.

A database or server-side programming language is not required for the Jamstack architecture, which powers Gatsby websites. Instead, it leverages JavaScript, APIs, and HTML markup.
