In this post, I'll show you how you can fetch layout data from an external source at build time and use it anywhere in a Next.js app.
In this post I'll show you how to add Google Auth with MongoDB Realm. It's not as straight forward as you might think and the documentation seems to miss a few steps. Don't worry, I got you.

In this post, I'll show you how to set up real 301 and 302 redirects with Gatsby, Sanity and Netlify.
