Fast by default: real-world apps with Astro
Most sites ship piles of JavaScript to render what is mostly text, and visitors pay for it in load time. Astro flips that: fast HTML first, interactivity only where it earns its place. Real apps still need searches, carts, and forms. Let's grow one site live, using server islands, type-safe Actions, and content that updates without a redeploy. No Astro experience required. You'll leave knowing why you'd choose it, and when you shouldn't.
