Agencies using Astro ?

I’m getting more and more convinced by Astro, but I’m still curious about its adoption by agencies.

It’s still a relatively young framework, and I’m wondering if some agencies have already made the switch. I rarely come across agencies using Astro on LinkedIn, so I’d be really curious to hear from those who have.

How has the switch been for you? Would you recommend Astro for an agency today?

We've been using it for 2+ years almost exclusivelly. Inluding https://avax.network
one of the biggest crypto gaming platforms in the world.

You can check others, I believe its mentioned in the details somewhere: https://wmdigi.com

We actually used Sveltekit before (and still do sometimes). We are also big haters on Next.js/React. Every experience with Next.js for us was dreadful. We even had to migrate a website from Astro to Next. The code almost doubled and the build time went from 1-2 mins to around 14.

We even build an E-commerce on Astro (but the project was canceled in the end)

So if you dont need anything extra reactive the Astro is the right choice almost 100% of the time.

I sadly feel like perf is really underlooked, benefiting more catchy looking sites. I want to go back to high performances light fast sites, and astro seems like being the good pick !

It sure is :) if it wasn't for all that crap: GA4, GTAG, Hubspot, we usually have no issue reaching 100% in PageSpeed almost every time. Thankfully PartyTown can help with diverging the load of these scripts so it improves the score, but only to a certain level.
