## About this template

This template is a blog starter built with [Astro](/en/documentation/products/devtools/azion-edge-runtime/frameworks-compatibility/astro/), a framework designed for content-first websites that ship zero JavaScript by default. It authors posts in Markdown and includes RSS, sitemap support, and a tidy default theme, so you can publish articles instead of wiring up boilerplate. Hosted on Azion, every page is delivered via a distributed architecture for fast, globally consistent load times.

## Key features

- Markdown-based posts with a ready-to-use, responsive blog layout.
- Automatic RSS feed and sitemap generation for discoverability and SEO.
- Static Site Generation (SSG) producing lightweight, cacheable pages.
- One-click deployment to Azion's globally distributed global network.
