THE HEADLINE

Edge absorbs the reads

Nearly every reader is served by Cloudflare's edge cache. The Astro origin only wakes on a cold slug or a revalidation.

Content lives in the repo

  • Posts are MDX files
  • Checked in, reviewed in PRs
  • No runtime database

CMS holds the big stuff

Images, OG art, and downloadable assets live in a separate bucket keyed by slug. Astro links them at render time.
