Next.js is the default choice for most teams, although there are many other solutions on the market. One such solution is Astro, which in certain areas, due to its eccentric approach, seems to outclass the Vercel king. During this presentation, Szymon discusses the key features of Astro, as well as the differences between it and the aforementioned Next.js. You will learn what interactive islands are, why MPA (multi-page application) is still a very good choice for content-driven websites, and much more. Who knows - maybe you will use Astro in your next project?
