Gatsby isn't doing anything unique for data fetching that other javascript applications are doing. So really the same rules & challenges apply. If you want a unified approach you could use something like Azure Static Web apps or Netlify functions. If your backend is hosted on a different domain then you may have CORS to setup. But otherwise theirs not really any additional complexity. Your general considerations will be around security, scalability, consistency, ease of deployment, etc. These are all massive topics though! |

Okay thank you for you response 👍 I'll try out azure static web apps since my backend is running on Azure as well! |

Like @herecydev mentioned, you can host it everywhere. For dynamic data fetching, you'll need an API server that can give you the data. In the jamstack, mostly serverless API functions are used like azure function, AWS lambda, ... |
