Building Modern Web Applications with Astro

Astro has revolutionized how we build websites by introducing a unique approach to content-focused websites. Its “Islands Architecture” allows us to ship less JavaScript while maintaining interactivity where needed.

Why Astro?

When building content-focused websites, we often don’t need the full power of a client-side JavaScript framework. Astro understands this and provides a better default: no JavaScript at all.

Key Features

  • Partial Hydration: Only ship JavaScript for components that need it
  • Multiple Framework Support: Use React, Vue, Svelte, or any other framework
  • Built-in Performance Optimizations: Automatic image optimization, asset handling
  • Great Developer Experience: TypeScript support, hot module reloading
