On Fri, Jan 16, 2026, Cloudflare announced the acquisition of the team behind Astro, an open-source web framework designed for building content-driven sites. This acquisition brings the employees of The Astro Technology Company under Cloudflare, aiming to accelerate the development of Astro.

Cloudflare remains committed to open-source innovation. Astro will continue to be MIT-licensed, facilitating contributions and maintaining platform agnosticism. The Astro Ecosystem Fund will continue to receive support from partners such as Webflow, Netlify, Wix, and Sentry. Although the financial terms were not disclosed, the acquisition aims to protect essential tools for a free and open Internet.

Astro is utilized by brands such as Porsche, IKEA, Unilever, Visa, and NBC News, as well as AI firms including OpenAI. Platforms like Webflow Cloud and Wix Vibe employ Astro for customer deployments on Cloudflare's network. Cloudflare itself uses Astro for its developer documentation, Workers site, and landing pages.

Astro focuses on content-driven sites with its Islands Architecture, which renders most pages as static HTML for increased speed. It allows for interactive elements using frameworks like React, Vue, and Svelte.

Content-driven: Prioritizes content over heavy JavaScript. Server-first: Reduces complexity for builders. Fast by default: Minimizes JavaScript for optimal performance. Easy to use: Lowers the expertise barrier for builders. Developer-focused: Offers robust resources and tools.

The public beta of Astro 6 has been launched, featuring a Vite-powered development server that mirrors production runtimes like Cloudflare Workers. Developers can access features such as Durable Objects, D1, KV, and Agents locally through the Cloudflare Vite plugin. Live Content Collections offer real-time updates without rebuilds, suitable for dynamic data management. The beta includes enhanced security measures with first-class Content Security Policy (CSP) support and a Zod 4 upgrade.

Astro's portability remains intact post-acquisition, supporting deployment across various cloud platforms. Developers can try the beta via npm create astro@latest -- --ref next or upgrade existing projects.
