For product surfaces — dashboards, in-app workflows, anything with state — we still reach for Next.js or Remix. For marketing sites, content hubs, documentation, and editorial commerce, Astro wins.
Three reasons:
- Zero JavaScript by default. Lighthouse 100 is the floor, not the ceiling.
- Islands where they earn their weight. A pricing toggle, a chart, a search box — small, isolated, hydrated only where needed.
- Content collections. Type-safe, MDX-ready, and predictable. Our editors learn it in a morning.
Astro is not a silver bullet. But for what an agency ships most, it is the right default.
