@hmiron @astro Just for things like this, where we're sharing the same thing in lots of places all through the week. We were going to put it on the "poster" graphic, which was my initial reason to do the short link

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!

@mayank @cthos If you use Astro edge middleware on Netlify it's implemented using edge functions. Using them directly does give you more control.

@mayank @cthos Netlify Edge Functions are the equivalent, and can be configured with URL patterns. https://docs.netlify.com/edge-functions/overview/
Edge Functions overview

Edge Functions connect our platform with an open runtime standard at the network edge, allowing fast, personalized web experiences in a dev ecosystem.

@astro @jsit I'm loving the idea of Opera devs planning version 12 asking "so shall we support links in this version? Nah, that can wait for version 15"

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.

Server islands · withastro roadmap · Discussion #907

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. ...
