Cloudflare Expands Into Full-Stack Web Development with Astro Acquisition

Cloudflare's acquisition of Astro marks a strategic pivot toward building an integrated web development platform beyond infrastructure services. The move enables developers to combine Astro's powerful framework for high-performance websites with Cloudflare's global CDN, edge computing, and deployment infrastructure in a single ecosystem. This consolidation reflects a broader industry shift where infrastructure providers compete increasingly through developer tools and frameworks rather than connectivity alone.
