Join JAMstack Portland as the Gatsby team takes over to share what’s coming in Gatsby V2.

On Thursday, August 23rd (6:30pm) at Alchemy Code Lab, take a deep dive into what’s coming up in Gatsby V2. Learn how Gatsby leverages React and GraphQL as part of its JAMstack approach to building blazing fast websites.

Talks for the night:

• Gatsby V2 Deep Dive with Kyle Mathews, creator of Gatsby

  Learn what’s new in V2, including additional build optimizations, better error messaging, hotter hot reloading with Gatsby’s Ludicrous Mode, and PostCSS configuration updates.

• How We’re Working to Make Open Source More Open with Marisa Morby

  From free swag to open pair programming hours, Gatsby is working hard to make sure the open source community is as welcoming as possible. Learn how we’ve designed our processes, what we’ve learned, and what we’re planning next in this session.

• Build a Gatsby V2 Site with AWS and Tailwind CSS with Kyle Galbraith

  Learn how to leverage Gatsby, Tailwind, and AWS to create (and deploy) a stylish blog - in the time it takes for a pizza to get delivered.

• Data in Gatsby V2: GraphQL Schema Stitching, StaticQuery, and More with Andrew Rhyne

  In this session, learn all about the new ways you can access data in Gatsby V2, from the flexibility of the new StaticQuery component to improved integration with existing GraphQL APIs.

Food and drinks will be provided. Space is limited so register early to reserve your spot! All attendees are expected to abide by Gatsby’s code of conduct.
