Gatsby GraphQL Data Layer

Local, build-time GraphQL data layer exposed by the Gatsby framework to query content sourced from plugins (CMSs, filesystem, APIs). This is not a hosted public API; it runs inside a developer's Gatsby project during development and build. The hosted Gatsby Cloud Build API was sunset following Netlify's acquisition.
