Gatsby: Gatsby Limit?

[ahansson89]

I wonder what the limit for Gatsby is? I know I can make sites with 10,000 pages. But what if I have sites that have 1,000.000+ pages? Will Gatsby be able to handle that?

What limits have you guys hit with v2?

@ahansson89 The aim for Gatsby is to work for million page sites, but it’s not there yet. We have been working to make Gatsby great for larger scale sites. For that, we have been focusing on improving the performance and build times for large sites. Following are the PRs which have made a lot of difference:

6226

9370

9338 (this is WIP, also focussed on larger site performance)

You can also take a look at the benchmark sites for testing bigger sites https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/benchmarks

Page count limit is really fluid - it depends on how content heavy your site is and what is being used for your site. We have some benchmarks https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/benchmarks/create-pages and https://github.com/gatsbyjs/gatsby/tree/master/benchmarks/markdown that stress test different parts of gatsby - but results of those benchmark won't be the same as for real production sites.

As @kakadiadarpan mentioned - there is continuous progress on optimizing bottlenecks that limit size of websites

Of course. Let's say it's a news/blog type of sites with blog posts 800 words on average, just to define a standard for the discussion.

Will I be able to deploy a 1,000,000+ pages site with Gatsby as of right now? If not, where are the bottlenecks?
