Gatsby plugin that stitches remote GraphQL APIs into Gatsby's GraphQL data layer via schema merging. Version 5.16.0 is current and stable; it requires Gatsby 5 and Node >=18. It works by wrapping the remote query type under an arbitrary field name, enabling queries like `{ swapi { allPeople { ... } } }`. Unlike dedicated source plugins (e.g., gatsby-source-wordpress), this plugin does NOT support Incremental Builds, CMS Preview, image optimization, or full GraphQL data layer features. It is best suited for simple proof-of-concepts or when no specialized source plugin exists. Release cadence follows Gatsby's major versions.
