Astro is a modern static site generator that prioritizes performance and developer experience. It allows developers to build websites using familiar web technologies like JavaScript, HTML, and CSS, while providing features like automatic code splitting, server-side rendering, and fast page loads. Astro's component-oriented approach enables reusability and composability, making it easy to create complex web applications.

Compared to traditional static site generators like Jekyll or Hugo, Astro offers a more modern and flexible architecture, allowing developers to leverage the power of frameworks like React or Vue within a static site context. It is actively maintained and continuously updated to meet the evolving needs of web development.
