Astro is a modern static site generator that allows developers to build fast, optimized websites—a critical requirement in today’s rapidly evolving ecosystem, where user demands are high. Astro’s story goes back to 2021, when Fred K. Schott released the first version of the framework. At the time of writing this tutorial, Astro is already at version 4 and has seen many amazing features added to it.

Astro has gained popularity over its brief existence, due to:

• its innovative approach to creating websites, which emphasizes performance

• its smooth developer experience

• its ability to blend various other frameworks seamlessly
