## What it is
Gridsome is a Vue.js-powered Jamstack framework and static site generator that builds fast, CDN-ready websites from any headless CMS, APIs, or local Markdown files. It provides a centralized GraphQL data layer, file-based routing, automatic code splitting, image optimization, and PWA support out of the box.

## Use cases
- build a fast static blog with Vue.js
- generate a documentation site from Markdown files
- pull content from a headless CMS like Contentful or WordPress into a static site
- create a PWA that works offline and scores near-perfect Lighthouse ratings
- build a marketing site deployable to Netlify, Vercel, or S3
- query site content through a GraphQL data layer

## When to choose
- you prefer Vue.js over React for static site generation
- you want a Gatsby-like experience with a GraphQL data layer but for Vue
- you need fast, SEO-friendly static sites deployable to any CDN
- you want built-in image optimization, code splitting, and link prefetching

## When to avoid
- you need a heavily server-rendered dynamic application
- you require a framework with frequent updates and a large active community (development has slowed)
- you prefer React-based tooling like Next.js or Gatsby
- you need SSR or API routes rather than static pre-rendering
