Bringing React into your Content Sites
summary
Claims concrete: Astro shows how to embed React components into content sites while keeping content collections (type‑safe Markdown backed by Zod), an image component integrated with collections (automatic width/height, build‑time cache, Vercel image service), and partial hydration via client directives (client:idle/load/visible). Recent releases add markdoc/MDX support, parallelized rendering that turns sequential 3s waits into ~1s, SSR/hybrid routes, and data collections with references — all implemented and demonstrably working in Astro 2.x/2.6.
