I've been playing around with Gatsby a lot lately and I'm really impressed. The docs seem very complete too which makes life easy! My projects with it are fairly small though and I have just been working with MDX files - it's suited my purpose perfectly but looking forward to hearing what headless CMS people recommend 🙂

I recommend:

  • netlify cms if you are writing blogs and every time you write blog file is commit to your git repo.

  • Headless WordPress CMS if you want to build an ecommere or blog site but you have to host wordpress on another server; this is downside of this.

  • Contentful is good online cms where it provide API to work with.

For my point of view, Contentful and netlify cms is good for personal stuff. While headless cms WordPress is good for large scale application. Further more you can also decouple SQL Database of WordPress.
