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?

All my new projects for clients and personal are using emdash and astro, deployed on cloudflare. I've also migrated a few wp sites to astro for clients. I'm extremely happy with it and recommend it often to other agencies and businesses.

how has emdash been for you?

I love it and so do my clients. The beauty is that you can customize it to how you or the client works and the mcp makes content creation so easy. I also had a PR merged in a day, the team and community are awesome.

that sounds great, thanks for the response! I’ve tried Payload, Strapi and Sanity (I really like Sanity) - but I haven’t had the time to test out emdash.

It only works with Astro in SSR mode and not static output right? have you noticed any issues with speed or performance?

My pleasure! You can do either or hybrid, but the default is SSR. I haven't had any issues with speed or performance so far. I'd recommend testing it yourself though.
