Cloudflare’s acquisition of Cloudflare Astro indicates a turning point for enhancing web development with greater performance. Cloudflare made the announcement that it will incorporate the entire team of the Astro Technology Company into its organization. Astro will remain an open-source web framework with the MIT license so that it can continue growing. Astro is a popular JavaScript framework for developing fast & content-driven websites that rely on little client-side code written in JavaScript. Some leading brands and platforms depend on Astro to build fast websites and enhance performance both online & in search results. Unilever, Visa, Webflow, Wix, and NBC News are some of them.
Matthew Prince, co-founder and CEO of Cloudflare, said: “Protecting and investing in open source tools is critical. To the health of a functioning, free, and open Internet. By acquiring this talented team & committing to one of the most impactful frameworks when it comes to speed and performance. We’re going to ensure Astro continues to be the best web framework for content-driven websites. Not only as it is today but for years to come.”
Accelerating Astro’s Development and Performance
By bringing together Astro’s team and infrastructure with Cloudflare’s, Cloudflare is attempting to speed the pace of framework development. With a commitment to maintain all platform neutrality. In addition, a new beta of Astro 6 was released at the time of the purchase announcement. Which came with enhanced performance, additional support for a range of JavaScript engines, and a new development environment.
Fred Schott, CEO of The Astro Technology Company, said, “ Joining Cloudflare allows us to accelerate Astro’s development faster. On a much larger scale. Astro will continue to be the best way for developers to build content-driven websites. Whether they host on Cloudflare or elsewhere.”
