Case Study: Gatsby achieves faster, developer-friendly CI with CircleCI

Why the team that powers some of the fastest sites on the web chose CircleCI

Gatsby, the React-based framework for building fast websites and apps, needed a reliable CI solution that could keep up with its developer-focused workflow. Its previous CI tool was unreliable and slow to provide actionable feedback, so the team looked to CircleCI for a faster, more robust, and developer-friendly experience.

CircleCI helped Gatsby expand from basic unit tests to full end-to-end and real-world application testing using Cypress, all within a more intuitive workflow. The result was a marked increase in confidence when merging pull requests, with CircleCI helping the team avoid breaking downstream Gatsby applications and improving overall CI reliability.
