Endigest AI Core Summary

Cloudflare has acquired The Astro Technology Company, the team behind the Astro web framework, committing to its continued open-source development.

  • The Astro Ecosystem Fund continues with partners including Webflow, Netlify, Wix, Sentry, and Stainless
  • Astro 6 (first public beta now available) introduces a new dev server built on the Vite Environments API, enabling local development using the same runtime as production (e.g., Cloudflare Workers via workerd)
