All Things Astro
summary
Astro 4 ships features that turn content sites into fast, interactive apps: view transitions implemented with two lines of code (moving to CSS in Chrome 126), the island architecture that hydrates only component-level JS, and built-in image optimization producing WebP/AVIF outputs. The talk demos a guestbook built with Astro DB (first‑party DB with a generous free tier), Drizzle and Zod validations, and experimental Astro Actions plus Solid client components. content collection caching cuts doc builds ~80% on a 4,000‑page site.
