Thanks for your time in writing this article.
I'm using Gatbsy for a blog already, mostly for the SEO score and the speed.

Regarding the deployment, since Gatsby produces flat, lifeless HTML files for low budget blogs and simple landing pages, it might be a good solution to use a simple local build with and an FTP upload using ftp-deploy Node.js module.

Gatsby can be used that way, but a majority of Gatsby sites are applications making use of React and hydration! You can check out the docs for more info.

In this case, the remote/cloud build enhances in some way the final product?
Basically the build, local or remote is the same thing.

Heroku has a similar build workflow (and maybe other platforms) triggered from the REPO commits, super useful for Python apps that require a basic setup (modules compilation, provisioning).

Anyway, Gatsby is something that I plan to use for a long time, for sure.
One last question, at the end: any plan to open a commercial marketplace to encourage companies to develop more themes and UI Kits?

Thanks for your time!

The remote build can be triggered by CMS content updates and it's more performant. So there are great benefits depending on what your use case is.

In terms of commercial marketplace I honestly don't know. But it's a fun idea!
