Astro Adds Databases, Pigment CSS, and Speedometer 3.0 Browser Testing
Full Description
In this episode, we explore the latest in web development with Astro unveiling Astro DB, a fully managed, blazing fast SQL-based database that is “ridiculously easy to use.” Next, you may not know the name, but Speedometer just released version 3.0, which further solidifies its status as the browser benchmark for web app responsiveness. Pigment CSS, a zero-runtime CSS-in-JS solution from the makers of the Material UI component library that works with Next.js' app router and React Server Components. And to cap it all off, we’ve got new details about Rolldown, the Rust-based version of Rollup, and Chris Coyier’s honest thoughts about what happened to his CSS Tricks site after it was acquired.
