Bonjour, Astronauts!
Astro took the stage at StrapiConf 2025 in Paris to show why it’s the perfect fit for content-driven websites, and you can catch the replay in today’s newsletter!
Meanwhile, the community's been busy shipping new guides and resources, from adding Vue Router to Astro SSR apps, to a brand-new Astro course for beginners.
Let’s get into it! 🚀

Astro at StrapiConf 2025 🇫🇷
Astro framework team lead Matt Kane recently took the stage at StrapiConf to explain why Astro is such a natural fit for Strapi.
From shipping zero JS by default to flexible rendering modes and a unified content loader system, Astro makes it easy to build fast, modern sites with Markdown or headless CMSs like Strapi.
Matt also demoed server islands in action and highlighted some high-profile adopters, including NASA, Porsche, and Cloudflare.

Routing for the stars
Client-side routing with Vue in Astro SSR 🧭
Astro SSR and Vue.js don’t have to be mutually exclusive. Florian van der Galiën shows how to integrate Vue Router for client-side navigation inside Astro SSR apps.
With dynamic imports, hydration fixes, and shared routing across islands, it’s a neat way to layer interactivity onto otherwise static pages.
Astro’s fast — and then there’s Quick
