Astro announce new partnership 🎥
Astro just got a co-star. Mux is now the Official Video Partner of Astro!
As part of the partnership, Mux is sponsoring Astro with $5,000/month to support ongoing open-source maintenance and development.
Even better, they’ve worked hand-in-hand with the core team to ship two new official components:
@mux/mux-player-astro — high-performance video playback with just a few lines of code
@mux/mux-uploader-astro — a drop-in uploader to get videos into Mux without the headaches
Both are available today on npm, with documentation ready for you to dive in.
New to Mux? Start for free at mux.com and use code ASTRO for an extra $50 credit.
For all the details and more, check out the official announcement blog post.

Building a streaming platform with Astro + Mux 📺
Jason Lengstorf wanted more than replay-style streams, so he set out to build a full-fledged developer TV network.
With Astro and Mux, he launched CodeTV — a platform for live coding, game shows, and original programming.
