I didn't realize one might use Firebase to host the blog content. Do you have to define the data structure is that handle by the Gatsby template?

Thank you for your help, Alex! It's super helpful.

There are plugins call gatsby-source-firebase and gatsby-source-firestore that let you query data from firebase.

You’d have to define the data structure. You’d have to do that for other CMS too (except for WordPress or Drupal).

I’d be happy to dive deeper if you wanna learn more about Gatsby. Big fan and would love to spread the word. Feel free to reach out!
