TLDR; This Gatsby Cloud China article provides you with a simple solution to get your Gatsby Cloud powered websites fast, stable, and compliant in China.
What is Gatsby Cloud?
Gatsby Cloud provides easy deployment for the GatsbyJS project. It’s also deeply integrated with popular headless CMSes such as DatoCMS, Contentful, Sanity, and many other popular CMS.
Other than that, it works just like Vercel and Netlify, where developers can git-push and make a gatsby site live for public access in minutes.
Gatsby Cloud helps developers to bring a static site globally, powered by global CDN, but not China. Below is the ultimate guide on making your sites load fast in China without changing your stack.
Does Gatsby Cloud Work in China?
No. Although Gatsby Cloud is not blocked in China, Gatsby Cloud has no servers in mainland China. As a result, Gatsby Cloud is unstable and slow for users in China as we’ll see below.
