Content management is broken. Let's fix it

✨ By Ben "MDX" Holmes ✨

What am I talking about?

Background: I worked on an ecommerce site with a medium-sized enterprise team. This team needed a lot of cross-communication copy writers, designers, product managers, and developers.

Purpose: To thoroughly understand the content management problem space, and analyze existing solutions.

⚠️ I am not discussing our own solution! Just setting the groundwork from my perspective, so Astro can build from there 😄

• extra tags:: #react #server #islands-architecture

What I know coming in

React server components (initial proposal) was a so-so DX that solved an important problem: I want to render a React component on the server only, with APIs to easily fetch data for rendering.

• Pulls on islands architecture concepts (hi Astro.build!)
• Improves full-stack ergonomics
