Motivation

We want flexibility with how we manage our public website, in order to

  1. Not lock us into a particular technology
  2. Be able to do dynamic stuff as we see fit.
  3. migrate incrementally instead of with a giant bang.
  4. deploy new versions of the site in milliseconds, not minutes.

Approach

This replaces the Gatsby site with a simple HTML server which is the one that was driving our web page. Of course, it delegates most of the work (including the home page) to the Gatsby site, but the important thing is that the dynamic component is sitting at the top.

We can still edit the gatsby site, but we can also add pages using HTML templates, or delegating to some other technology.
