Interesting, I've never thought of using Gatsby for dashboards but I'm sure it works for that purpose! Are you routing data in through axios instead of Gatsby because of performance?

More for agility right now. The sources are decoupled from the front end and I want to have live data without continuously rebuilding. Maybe in the future I'll have better ci/cd that would allow for more frequent rebuilds.

Anyways most of the data I am using at the moment can be aggregated down, put into json, and gzipped into sub 100kb files. It is still really responsive, 99 perf in lighthouse.
