In this tutorial, you’ll learn how to use Gatsby to create a blog app that integrates with the Netlify content management system (CMS) for content. Your app will allow you to author posts in Markdown and add or edit posts from your browser or Git. As a last step, you’ll secure a section of your app with Okta.
First, let’s take a step back. What is Gatsby? Gatsby is a tool for creating static websites with React. With Gatsby, you can pull data from CMSs, Markdown files, APIs, databases, and more. Gatsby uses GraphQL and webpack to combine your data and React code to generate static files for your website.
