Your Astro workflow is about to level up.
This week we’re covering large-scale platform migrations, passwordless auth, smart typography, and full-stack starters that come pre-wired.
Build full-stack Astro apps on Cloudflare Workers without building the stack first. Verge Kit comes with Drizzle for databases, Better Auth for sign-in flows, Tailwind for styling, and clean defaults for everything else.
Scaling Astro past thousands of pages means profiling first. This breakdown shows how to cut build time by 25% through smarter caching, when to let concurrency help, and which optimizations matter most.
A 924-page site, two languages, zero downtime, zero SEO loss, and the entire team can now edit with natural language. Here's how one founder used AI to exit Webflow and build something better.
SPONSOR MESSAGE:
Customer agents you can test, version, and trust in production.
Most teams treat AI agents like a black box. They wire together a workflow tool, a speech vendor, and a transcription API, then hope the result behaves. When it doesn't, there's no way to know why, and no safe way to change it.
ElevenAgents treats customer agents like software. Built on the voice models the market already builds on, it runs voice, chat, email, transcription, and reasoning in one pipeline, so a customer can start in chat, escalate to a call, and follow up over email without losing context. Voice responses come back in under 400 milliseconds.
Then you get the controls stitched-together stacks can't offer. A/B test prompts and personas with Experiments. Enforce behavior with Guardrails. Version every change, ship improvements, roll back mistakes. Plug in any LLM and ground answers in your knowledge base.
Launch in minutes, improve every week. Transparent, flat pricing at $0.08 per minute.

Building password-free access in Astro means leaning into email: one-time links, no sessions stored in databases, instant access control through your repo. Hans shows the approach for clubs, courses, and more.

Stop Paying for 6 Tools. One AI Does It All.
Most e-commerce sellers juggle 6–8 tools and pay hundreds monthly to keep operations running. StoreClaw replaces the stack with one autonomous AI engine that monitors competitors, optimizes listings, automates marketing, and tracks profit 24/7.
