Astro is a TypeScript-based web framework for building content-driven websites with a powerful developer experience and lightweight output. It ships zero JavaScript by default and supports islands architecture for selectively hydrating interactive components from frameworks like React, Preact, Svelte, and Vue.

Use cases

• build a fast marketing site or landing page
• create a developer blog with markdown and MDX
• generate a documentation site
• build a content-heavy site that ships minimal JavaScript
• add interactive React or Svelte islands to an otherwise static site
• build a hybrid site with server-rendered endpoints
• migrate a blog from Gatsby or Jekyll

When to choose

• your site is mostly content like blogs, docs, marketing pages, or portfolios
• you want fast page loads with little or no client-side JavaScript
• you want to mix UI framework components into a static site
• you want built-in markdown/MDX and content collections support

When to avoid

• you are building a highly interactive single-page application with heavy client state
• you need a full backend application framework with complex server-side logic
• your team depends on a single UI framework for the entire app
