Astro is a Vite-based framework for content sites that now hits 3 million monthly downloads and 50,000 GitHub stars, and it ships concrete features: zero JavaScript by default for fast HTML-first pages, an islands model plus server islands for hybrid SSR, a new image component and automatic font optimization, first-class sessions with platform-backed storage, experimental live content collections and automatic CSP handling. Many features are experimental now and targeted to ship in Astro 6 by year end.
