Leverage the power of Gatsby to quickly produce e-commerce sites that
are efficient, fast, and secure. This project-oriented book simplifies
the process of setting up a Gatsby e-commerce site from start to finish,
providing a starting toolset that you can use to develop future projects
and incorporate into your existing workflows.
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.
