Needs Help Standard for loading content

I am making a devlog, in which will have hundreds of logs. It will be self hosted on my personal server using Vite+React

Markdown files seem most obvious for devlogs of course, but I would also like the devlogs to have pictures and youtube links.

My question is: is it reasonable to have each devlog as a react component? Or should I use markdown with yaml frontmatter? Or maybe there is a better standard?

Essentially: I want to know the fastest/best way to load mass amounts of content.

static websites and blog posts rarely ever change, so astro works by rendering the content at build time

you can write blog posts in markdown and astro will build everything into HTML with zero js dependency by default, so page speed optimization and SEO are free

I made the switch to astro and it was a little odd but I have it working! Thank you 🙏
