Migrate to Astro #3

Open anoop-b opened 1 year ago

anoop-b commented 1 year ago

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?
