GraphCMS is a great tool for anyone who uses Gatsby and wants to save developers time

Team Lead in Engineering (201-500 employees employees)

Pros

  • GraphCMS is easy to work with from the "non-engineer" side of things.
  • GraphCMS is very flexible on what data models we can create and how those models are formed.
  • GraphCMS uses Graph API, which is easy to write (compared to older API patterns).

Cons

  • GraphCMS is very expensive at the enterprise level.
  • GraphCMS requires deep knowledge of the system and requires lots of time to be efficient with it (especially around creating specific data patterns/relationships).
  • Multiple times a day, the system will give us errors when attempting to save something but the errors are unclear as to what went wrong (can be irritating).

Return on Investment

  • Better use of time for our engineers in the long run.
  • More control of content for people outside of the engineer team.
  • Allows people to edit the content on their own, so they don't need to wait until a developer is available to add something to the website.
