Gatsby 4 Upgrade Experience
- Scott Tolinsky updated his large personal website to Gatsby 4 in 45 minutes.
- The upgrade from Gatsby 3 was smooth, with only one minor issue.
Gatsby 4 Rendering Options
- Gatsby 4 offers three rendering options: static, deferred static generation (DSG), and server-side rendering (SSR).
- DSG defers page generation until a user visits, while SSR renders on every request, supporting dynamic content.
Caching Dynamic Content
- Use server-side rendering (SSR) with cache-control headers for frequently updating content.
- Proxies or CDNs can further improve caching with these headers.
