Sanity Integration in Reading

Connecting Sanity to Reading applications, where the query language shapes how you fetch. GROQ lets a single query return exactly the shape a page needs — following references, filtering and projecting in one request — which removes the pattern of fetching a document and then fetching everything it points at.

Why this comes up

The problem

The page fetches an article, then its author, then related articles, in four sequential requests before it can render.

What you get

What we deliver

  • Queries written to return the whole shape a page needs in one request
  • References followed within the query rather than resolved in application code
  • Draft and published content handled explicitly for preview
  • Caching and revalidation designed so published changes appear promptly
  • Image handling used properly, since transformations happen on request
  • Types generated from the schema so a change fails the build rather than a page

Working in Reading

South East

Reading anchors the Thames Valley technology corridor, and local firms are often part of large enterprise supply chains where security review and integration standards are set by someone else.

Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains.

Sanity Integration in Reading — common questions

What does querying in one request buy us?
Latency and simplicity. Following references inside the query means one round trip instead of several sequential ones, and the response arrives shaped for the page — so the application renders rather than assembling data from multiple fetches.
How is preview handled?
By querying drafts explicitly with an authenticated request. Published content is served without credentials and drafts are not, so preview requires a deliberate path — which also means preview must be secured rather than left open.
What about images?
Transformations happen on request, so the application asks for the size and format it needs rather than storing variants. That removes an entire pipeline and it means the request parameters matter — asking for a full-size image where a thumbnail is needed wastes what the feature exists to save.
Why generate types?
Because a schema change should break the build rather than a page. Generated types mean a renamed field fails compilation while somebody is working on it, instead of producing an empty section that nobody notices until a reader does.
Do you work with businesses across Berkshire?
Yes. We are based in Leicester, United Kingdom and work with clients throughout South East, including Reading and the surrounding Berkshire area. Most collaboration happens remotely, and we travel for kick-offs and key milestones.
What kind of Reading businesses do you usually work with?
Work here usually has to satisfy someone else's security and integration standards, because clients sit inside larger enterprise supply chains. Beyond that we work across Technology, Telecommunications, Financial Services and Professional Services.
Do you cover the areas around Reading?
Yes — we work throughout South East, including Oxford, London, Milton Keynes, Southampton. Reading is an urban area of roughly 340,000+, and we take on work across the wider Berkshire region rather than the city boundary alone.
