Some routes shouldn't touch Astro at all. A proxy, a health check, a websocket upgrade. `src/app.ts` is just a `fetch` handler. Short-circuit what you want, pass the rest to `astro()`.

Drop any Hono middleware into your Astro pipeline. Logging, auth, rate limits, wherever you want them. Astro's stages are just middleware now.

Starting on my homelab server rack with these components for my build / dev server. Will use bhyve as a hypervisor with Linux (probably something Debian) and FreeBSD and maybe Windows guests.

> Always "dress the dog," not the bun This old adage is wrong, by putting your condiments on top of the dog, you are far more likely to have it smeared all over your face.

I think any backlash Svelte is getting is warranted given how much they leaned into this meme. Being more succinct was a key selling point. Svelte 5 is an acknowledgement that hiding complexity in another corner was the wrong call. It's better now, but some people rightfully feel a rug pull.

Glad engineers can come to consensus on something at least.
