Although you was trying to migrate simple personal blog from WordPress to Gatsby you faced alot of hiccups in the process.. So I am wondering what if a huge WordPress site depends on woocomerce in its design want to take the same move.. Will be even possible of course without losing its traffic
I lost lotcha traffic as the migration started "after" the site went down (recovered most of it nowadays).
I had a trouble with a simple "table" plugin (to show a ToC) didn't work so I believe a migration of such a site would be require more up-front plan (what plugins are installed and how they are rendered etc).
Oh so this is all your fault! I was trying to google how to do something and your article was a top hit. However since you deactivated your account I couldn't see it. You really aught to look into redirecting the old domain.
Yupz it was my fault, as I let it suspend 😅
Try the old one, which will take you to the new one now.

What about build and deploy time benchmark? Is it fast enough?
I haven't done a benchmark (not sure how to...).
As I am using a free tier of Netlify, I just checked about 10 deploy logs.
The build + deploy ranges between 4~9 minutes (I have many images and posts therefore, so gatsby is generating thumbnails, optimized images etc).
It's fast enough as it's a static content mostly and not updated frequently for my use-case (free, fast load time, and can test locally before publishing, etc.).
That's what I mean. I don't use Gatsby. But 4 minutes or more (for personal blog) is really slow. I use Hugo for my personal blog with hundred posts and few images, it's only takes below 2 minutes to build and deploy.
Build time is relative (to project size). And also, it's not just about build time.
Yes, it's depends on your needs.
