Here’s What’s Coming in Astro 6
summary
Astro 6 launches this week with concrete changes: a Vite Environment API–based dev server running real runtimes, a Rust compiler in beta replacing the old Go build, and live content collections that run at runtime. Built-in caching adds cache tagging plus CDN invalidation (demo shows in-memory cache then CDN hooks and manual invalidation working), automatic Content Security Policy generation, a fonts API that self-hosts and size-adjusts, trebled downloads year over year and 130+ contributors.
