I thought Gatsby is a static site generator?

  Yes and in that sense it overlaps next a bit... But next is much more.

    In the way that Jekyll and Rails overlap?

  It is, but "static site" is just a methodology for delivering content to the browser (static rendered HTML + server side [rendering|hydration] + client side routing). Traditionally people have used static sites for marketing, blogs and documentation but there's no reason why they have to be limited to just those sorts of sites. GatsbyJS's site has tutorials for how you can do authenticated users, ecommerce, etc with it. https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/authentication-tutorial/ https://www.gatsbyjs.org/docs/authentication-tutorial/
