Who do I know that runs an agency that does Astro work?

We're gauging interest in a possible Astro Agency Partner program, and it would be super helpful if any agencies that might be interested could complete this very short survey. It's asking a bit about what you'd like from a partner program.

Astro agency partner program survey

Thanks for your interest in an Astro agency partner program! To help us understand your interest and plan any future program, it would be a great help if you could answer a few questions about your agency and your wish list for such a program. We are currently considering an initial application-based program that, upon approval, includes a listing in a new agency directory on the main astro.build site and other benefits depending on demand and sponsorship level. It would have a new agency partners sponsorship tier on Open Collective. Please do not complete this unless you represent an agency that is potentially interested in joining an Astro agency partner program. Thanks for your help in making Astro a sustainable open source project!

Last week I spent some time looking at Next.js partial pre-rendering and I'm a big fan of the pattern. The implementation is very Next.js- and React-specific, but conceptually it's basically "server islands". That would fit in very well with Astro's architecture, so I wrote up a proposal.

Summary Allow islands within a prerendered page to be server-rendered at runtime. Background & Motivation Often a page may be mostly static, but with only parts that need to be rendered on-demand. ...

If you'd like to read 3000 words all about advanced caching on Remix, look right here https://developers.netlify.com/guides/how-to-do-isr-and-advanced-caching-with-remix/
How to do ISR and advanced caching with Remix | Netlify Developers

Incremental Static Regeneration (ISR) is a powerful pattern for rendering pages on the web. Remix has useful tools to do fine-grained ISR and other advanced caching patterns when deployed to Netlify. This guide will show you how to do it.

Now this is interesting: AWS has just open-sourced their own JavaScript runtime, called LLRT (low-latency runtime). 10x faster startup than Node. Aiming to be WinterCG and Node compatible. https://github.com/awslabs/llrt
GitHub - awslabs/llrt: LLRT (Low Latency Runtime) is an experimental, lightweight JavaScript runtime designed to address the growing demand for fast and efficient Serverless applications.

I prefer posting things here, but this makes it hard

I was wondering if Unpic worked with local images on Remix. tl;dr of course it does. It took about 3 minutes to get it working. This is all you need to get a responsive, high-performance `<img>` tag.

I wrote a blog post about it, with editable examples and everything. https://unpic.pics/blog/responsive-images-on-remix/

At the weekend I released the new version of Unpic Astro, which has a drop-in image service that makes all your images better, faster and more responsive. Almost all Astro sites would benefit from it. I wrote a thing explaining all the details. https://unpic.pics/blog/unpic-astro-image-service/
