Gatsby rose to fame as a static site generator, but it’s also an amazing platform for building dynamic sites! Wouldn’t it be awesome if we could add a user profile with access to protected data in our Gatsby app? Like Mario’s fire flower or Link’s hook shot, adding auth will power up your dynamic Gatsby site. Just one question: is it any different than adding auth to a regular React app?

In this talk, you’ll learn about Gatsby’s build process and runtime and how they impact setting up auth. You’ll also learn how to use Hooks and Context to build your auth sidekick. Finally, you’ll learn some tips and tricks to avoid common pitfalls with adding auth to Gatsby. By the end, you’ll be ready for the next level of your Gatsby quest!

🐯 🚀 Timescale is now TigerData: Building the Modern PostgreSQL for the Analytical and Agentic Era

We’ve quietly evolved from a time-series database into the modern PostgreSQL for today’s and tomorrow’s computing, built for performance, scale, and the agentic future.

So we’re changing our name: from Timescale to TigerData. Not to change who we are, but to reflect who we’ve become. TigerData is bold, fast, and built to power the next era of software.
