Astro is a modern web framework focused on building fast, content‑driven sites. It combines static‑site generation with server‑side rendering and an "islands" architecture to ship minimal JavaScript.

Use cases

• Build a marketing website that loads instantly with minimal JavaScript
• Create a blog or documentation site using Markdown and custom components
• Develop an e‑commerce storefront that needs SEO‑friendly static pages with occasional dynamic islands
• Migrate an existing React/Vue/Svelte site to a faster static‑site generator
• Generate a multi‑page documentation portal with built‑in search and theming

When to choose

• You need top Core Web Vitals performance and want to serve mostly static HTML
• You want to reuse components from React, Vue, Svelte, Solid, etc., within a static site
• Your project benefits from an "islands" model where only interactive parts load JavaScript
• You prefer a framework with a rich ecosystem of integrations and adapters for various hosting platforms
• You want a simple CLI to scaffold, build, and preview sites locally

When to avoid

• Your application is a full‑stack SPA that requires heavy client‑side routing and state management
• You need deep server‑side logic beyond rendering pages (e.g., real‑time APIs)
• You prefer a pure backend framework without any front‑end component model
• Your team is locked into a non‑JavaScript runtime environment
