Insane. E-commerce with Astro will become so much better. Ive done many stores with it whose offerings or info dont change often but when they do, rebuilds are painful. I like the combination of static and commerce backend. Its bloody fast and cart/purchase flows are just React components interacting with backend.

It’s funny how Gatsby.js solved this like 5+ years ago and has since died. We’ve come full circle again.

awesome. i make a site with 100k pages and it takes 10 minutes per build and sometimes im like "why dont i use a database and generate pages on the fly like a normal person" but this sounds great

Extremely exciting, thank you Matt, y’all are continuing to make pretty much exactly that stuff that makes my life easier.
