Oliveyoung Tech Blog Migrates to Gatsby: A Development Story

Oliveyoung carried out a migration of its existing Jekyll-based tech blog to Gatsby. The previous Jekyll environment had operational inconveniences, such as new hires struggling with Ruby installation and environment setup.

Also, as the organization grew in size, they wanted to restructure the content organization and reflect a new identity in the design that encompasses not just developers but various roles including POs, designers, and data/AI.

The main reasons for choosing Gatsby are as follows.

• SEO Optimization: React-based static site generation (SSG) and various plugins can improve search engine optimization scores.
• Leveraging the React Ecosystem: It aligns with the in-house frontend projects' trend toward React, boosting development productivity.
• Operational Efficiency: It resolves complex environment setup issues and allows developers to manage the blog efficiently alongside their existing work.
