Cloudflare acquires Astro
Cloudflare announced that it has acquired The Astro Technology Company.
Employees of The Astro Technology Company will become Cloudflare employees and will continue to work full time on Astro development.
According to The Astro Technology Company's announcement, even after the acquisition by Cloudflare, Astro's MIT License will be maintained, maintenance will be actively continued, and a wide range of deployment targets will be supported as before.
It also revealed a policy of maintaining open governance and the current roadmap.
The Astro Technology Company previously set forth a vision of providing paid databases, storage, analytics, and more as an integrated offering with the framework, but explained that it did not gain sufficient traction and, as a result, there were aspects in which it hindered Astro's development.
With Cloudflare's support, The Astro Technology Company aims to build a structure that allows it to focus on Astro development.
Cloudflare introduced that Astro 6, which revamps the development server on the basis of Vite, is scheduled to arrive within the next few weeks.
Astro 6's new local development server is built on the Vite Environments API and will be able to run locally in the same runtime as the deployment destination.
Last June, Figma acquired the open-source CMS "Payload CMS", and last December, the AI development company Anthropic acquired the JavaScript runtime Bun, with major companies making a series of acquisitions of web development tools.

I've been using JavaScript more than my native language since birth. I am nowhere and everywhere on the internet.
I build web apps and browser extensions in TypeScript as a web frontend programmer. I released Shadowban Scanner, a tool that detects shadowbans on X, and Restore Link Card, a tool that brings back link cards. Media outlets in Japan and abroad covered both tools. For iGEM 2023, I built the Wiki for Team Japan-United and helped the team win the Grand Prize. On my blog, I cover news about X and social media, test and troubleshoot bugs, and share frontend development insights.
