Reviewer scorecard
“Zero JS by default with islands architecture is the right approach for content sites. Performance is incredible out of the box.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“For content sites, blogs, and marketing pages, nothing beats Astro's performance. The multi-framework support is practical.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Content sites don't need SPAs. Astro proved that shipping less JavaScript is both possible and better.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
