Building with Astro
Astro renders pages to HTML and only loads JavaScript for the interactive components you mark, an approach it calls islands architecture. That suits blogs, docs, and marketing sites.
What Astro Is Good At
- Pages ship without client-side JavaScript unless a component needs it.
- React, Vue, Svelte, and other UI components can live in the same project.
- Content collections give Markdown and MDX typed frontmatter.
- Static output by default, with server rendering available.
Common Use Cases for Astro
- Content and directory sites
- Documentation sites and knowledge bases

Frequently Asked Questions About Astro
When should I use Astro instead of Next.js?
Astro fits mostly-content sites such as blogs, docs, and marketing pages. Next.js fits better when most of the site is an interactive, logged-in app.
