@victorbjorklund We're constantly shipping new optimizations for incremental data changes for self-hosting e.g. this recent improvement https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/pa.... Fast, real-time deployments need tight CI/CD integration to optimize & parallelize work. Builds are fastest through Gatsby Cloud because the platform is purpose built for Gatsby!

@kylemathews im just worried about vendor-lock-in. Would be happy to use gatsby.com. Just wanna make sure there is a backup vendor that I can move to just in case.

@m_lukaszczyk yup! That and a Gatsby source plugin. We'll be writing docs soon on specifics but in the meantime, you can ping us for help!
