Going Full-Stack with Astro
summary
Shows Astro 5 features and concrete recipes: enable server rendering with pre-render: false for per-request HTML (works on Cloudflare, Vercel, Netlify but not Bun yet); defer slow bits with server islands (server.defer) to avoid layout shift; add interactivity with client directives like client:idle or client:media so a React counter only hydrates when needed — demo CMS bricks compile, hydrate after adding the directive. Covers Astro Actions for server-handled forms (Zod validation) and first-party Astro DB backed by LibSQL/Drizzle for small site data.
