As the React ecosystem matures, metaframeworks like Next.js, Remix, and Astro are leading the charge in enhancing performance, simplifying development, and expanding capabilities. This talk will explore how these metaframeworks build upon React to deliver more scalable, efficient, and powerful web applications, making them essential tools for modern developers.

Overview: Discuss how AstroJS enhances website performance with its innovative approach.

Key Points: Explanation of partial hydration, comparison with full hydration approaches, case studies demonstrating performance improvements, and best practices for optimizing AstroJS websites for speed.

idealo, Europe's largest price comparison site, faced challenges with a complex Java codebase and slow deployments due to contributions from multiple teams. In late 2023, a PoC team modernized the frontend with React and implemented Micro Frontends to give teams ownership of their components. We chose Astro for its speed, cost-effectiveness, and decentralized development capabilities, and have now created a functional micro-frontend template that many teams are using across the company.
This talk is about the technical solution of how we chose a framework that would meet all of our needs. Our requirements: Faster or similar response times; Acceptable costs; Allows decentralized development.
