I am thrilled to announce CloudCannon as a new official Astro partner, CloudCannon will be sponsoring Astro for $4,000 each month going forward to support the ongoing open-source maintenance and development of Astro.

CloudCannon is a Git-based CMS that gives content teams the power to build and edit pages visually — without sacrificing the developer workflows you already love. CloudCannon works directly with your Git repository and local Markdown files, making it a natural complement to Astro’s content collections. If you’re looking for a CMS that embraces Astro’s local-first approach to content, CloudCannon is a great choice.

What This Partnership Means

CloudCannon first added Astro support back in 2023, and this new partnership deepens that relationship. Here’s what we’re working on together:

• Deeper technical collaboration. CloudCannon will get early access to new Astro features and work directly with our team to optimize their integration.
• Better documentation. We’ll collaborate with CloudCannon on an official integration guide for the Astro community.

For the full story, check out our livestream announcement together with the CloudCannon team. To celebrate the launch, CloudCannon is also running the Astro Challenge — build the best web page using their new Astro Component Starter between March 12-19 for a chance to win $1,500.

Astro ❤️ CloudCannon

We’re grateful to the entire CloudCannon team for their support of Astro. This sponsorship funding will be invested directly into the open-source project to support the long-term maintenance of Astro, benefiting everyone. You can learn more about how we use these funds in our FUNDING.md on GitHub.

Thank you, CloudCannon!
