Insane fast to production using Astro
summary
Fast static HTML by default with selective JS via client directives; demonstrates turning islands into interactive bits (mobile menu, counters) and a live CMS-connected counter built in React that works after adding a client directive. Shows server islands for deferred server-rendered fragments, the new content layer for collections (not just markdown), and form handling with Astro Actions plus a first-party ORM via Astro DB (Drizzle/SQLite) used in a working demo.
