By
Matthew Phillips, Emanuele Stoppa, Matt Kane
Summary
Astro 7.0 is a major release focused on performance improvements. The .astro compiler has been rewritten in Rust, Markdown/MDX processing uses a new Rust-powered pipeline, and the rendering engine has been replaced with a faster queue-based approach. Combined with Vite 8 and its Rolldown bundler, builds are 15-61% faster. The release also stabilizes route caching, adds experimental CDN cache providers (Netlify, Vercel, Cloudflare), introduces Advanced Routing with a src/fetch.ts entry point, background dev server support, and structured logging.

The .astro compiler has been rewritten in Rust.
Together with Vite 8 and its new Rolldown bundler, Astro 7 builds are 15-61% faster in our benchmarks.
The fastest build is the one that doesn't happen at all, so Astro 7 also stabilizes route caching and adds experimental CDN cache providers for Netlify, Vercel, and Cloudflare.
Astro 7 also introduces Advanced Routing, giving you a src/fetch.ts entry point.
