Yeah, nothing happens from netlify when it gets a deployment from Gatsby cloud. I did a run connecting it directly to the gitlab repo, and it built it using netifly deployment plugins.
Thats really a bummer, but I guess we will just use a dev branch on cloud then use a prod branch for netifly builds, it sucks because i feel like if we hit an issue in builds it could cause issues having the two platforms doing the same things with different plugins.
I evaluated Gatsby cloud when they first released it - and I loved the lighthouse feature, but the build issues I kept running into ultimately kept me from the platform.
I would continually get issues like builds stacking up from gatsby incremental builds - b/c GC would say Netlify failed to build - when nothing was wrong on Netlify.
What stops your team from doing a direct repo -> netilfy build?
