🎨 As we're getting closer to the release of Astro v6, let's take a trip down memory lane with a new Starlight theme which is heavily inspired by the timeless design of the legacy Astro documentation. github.com/HiDeoo/starl...

Please welcome ImageKit as Astro’s new Official Image Partner! Thank you ImageKit for supporting our open source mission 💖

Go meet Astro core maintainer @mk.gg in Amsterdam next month!

The January HTTPArchive report is out and the increase in Astro adoption is jaw-dropping. Up 11.8% on mobile and 14.6% on desktop sites. This is backed up by our own telemetry and npm downloads too. Downloads up 40% from pre-holidays. Everyone's vibing Astro sites! httparchive.org/reports/tech...

I’m at Astro Meetup Japan! Great vibes already. Huge thanks to @jp-knj.bsky.social for organizing this 🙌

was it you?

The State of JS is out. Astro is #1 meta-framework in developer satisfaction three years running. ︀︀ With our astronaut powers combined… 😤

Astro 5.17 is now available! Move the dev toolbar, partition your cookies (we had to look it up too, no worries) and create the images of your dreams with cool new optimization options.

OK, did everyone eat their Wheaties or what, because I'm compiling new integrations/plugins built for @astro.build this month and ... there are still 20 left to go in my inbox!

Thanks for sponsoring Astro, @cloudcannon.bsky.social!

We all know funding open source can be hard. Let’s talk about how Astro is doing it in 2026! (And how you can help 👀)

If you like orange, we have the t-shirt for you!

We are joining Cloudflare! astro.build/blog/joining...

Introducing the Astro 6.0 Beta. - Redesigned dev server: run against the same runtime you deploy to - First-class Cloudflare Workers support with workerd - Stable Content Security Policy and Live Collections It's never been a beta time to try Astro 👀

Can you remember everything that happened last year? No, us neither, so we wrote it down! astro.build/blog/year-in...

Thanks to @43081j.com for contributing a **massive** improvement in rendering performance. Benchmarking reports as high as 11x improvement 🤩. Upgrade to [email protected] when you can. James gave an excellent explanation of the improvement in the PR: github.com/withastro/as... Open source ftw!

Holy moly, James did it again! Up to x11 in perf gain! codspeed.io/withastro/as...

Compared to higher-faff frameworks, @astro.build's performance and ease of use is a breath of fresh air, which is why we choose it time and time again. We gave Astro $2,161.58 this year and made sure the Astro ⇌ Sentry integration works out of the box 💫

A chance to hire an Astro core maintainer! Yan would be an incredible hire for anyone who needs an Astro expert, or someone with experience leading a very active OSS community. He'll also track down every tiny error in grammar or punctuation in your docs. Those misused commas don't stand a chance.

I don't have the "Part 2" graphic yet, but @florian-lefebvre.dev and @jbrains.ca will be at it again, next week! Come hang out with the @astro.build community and get a peek at what it takes to *maintain* and *improve* the existing codebase... so we can more easily deliver you shiny new features!

Built with Astro! 🎁

Some people have asked so I want to clarify, @astro.build is not affected by the recent React vulnerability CVE-2025-66478. Astro apps using React do not use React Server Components. nextjs.org/blog/CVE-202...

I love seeing people using Astro for fun, and this Othello game was def fun! Took a little break to play against myself.

It's merged! The next alpha/beta release @astro.build will support @vite.dev Environment APIs! It took a long time because we had to re-architect the whole rendering pipeline. With this, even the @cloudflare.social Vite Plugin will work out of the box!

Since I mention working on it every month, if you follow me, you probably already know Astro has a newsletter. But, have you subscribed to it? Visit the web archive at https://buttondown.com/withastro/archive/ and if you like what you see, subscribe before the November edition goes out tomorrow!
