Why I code against a mock API:
1 I control the speed
2 It's never down
3 No internet required
4 No cross-team dependency
5 I can force it to throw errors to simulate server errors
6 I can write fast, reliable app tests
7 When I find a bug, I can enhance mock data and test it
@kyleshevlin Gatsby grabbing data on build makes this possible. My old company didn't need to upgrade beyond the free tier and they had a decent amount of data and content types.
