Web framework Astro, known for its performance and developer experience, has been acquired by infrastructure giant Cloudflare. This strategic move is set to profoundly impact the framework's future, particularly with deep integrations planned for Astro 6.
Cloudflare has announced the acquisition of Astro Technology Company, the creators of the popular Astro web framework. This strategic move directly positions Cloudflare to challenge Vercel's dominance in the framework space, long bolstered by Next.js.
Major shifts are underway in the AI and web development landscapes. OpenAI rethinks its monetization with ads, Cloudflare expands its ecosystem by acquiring Astro, and Anthropic enters the desktop agent space with Co-work.
