Migrate to Astro

[anoop-b]

Gridsome has been difficult to work with, especially with lack of support for node versions above 16. Since the site is mostly static, we'd benefit a lot from meta frameworks like Astro.

TLDR: Migrate site to Astro.

I have heard that Astro is good but I have never used it. What makes it suitable for this particular project? Have we analyzed all the other options?

What makes it suitable for this particular project?

Couple of reasons:

• Site is mostly static. Good use case for SSG
• Doesn't ship any JS by default
• Build times are faster than others (like gatsby) on cloudflare pages.
• works well with our existing CMS

I took a fork and making a very crude POC. No UI or content changes, just migration. Leaving the CRM alone since I don't have the api keys from env.

I'm happy to get this done, would you be open to sponsoring the work?
