Supercharge Your Content-First Websites with Flotiq & Astro

If you're building blazing-fast, SEO-optimized, and scalable web projects, you need the right tools working together in harmony. Astro, the modern frontend framework focused on performance, and Flotiq, a robust headless CMS, are a perfect match for developers who care about speed, structure, and simplicity.

Together, they offer a seamless workflow to build statically rendered or server-rendered websites with clean architecture, fully typed content, and effortless scalability. Whether you’re building a blog, product site, or dynamic landing page - Flotiq & Astro will help you get there faster, smarter, and with less friction.

What Makes This Integration So Powerful?

Let’s break down why combining Flotiq and Astro creates such a powerful developer experience — and more importantly, delivers real-world business value.

1. Performance at the Core

Astro is designed to ship zero JavaScript by default, producing static HTML pages for unmatched speed and SEO. Flotiq, on the other hand, ensures your content is delivered via high-performance REST or GraphQL APIs, making data retrieval lightning-fast.

When paired, your content-rich pages load instantly, whether they’re served as static pages or dynamically rendered on the server. This means better performance metrics, improved SEO, and reduced bounce rates — all critical for user engagement and conversion.

2. Developer Efficiency with Fully Typed APIs

One of Flotiq’s standout features is the auto-generated TypeScript SDK, which reflects your content model in real-time. After defining a content type in Flotiq (e.g., BlogPost, Product, Author), you immediately get a set of strongly typed classes and methods ready to use in your Astro project.

npm install @flotiq/flotiq-api-sdk

import { flotiqApiClient } from "@/flotiq-api-client";
const content = await flotiqApiClient.content.blog_post.list();

This means:

• No guessing API structure
  
• Instant IntelliSense in your IDE
  
• Safer code and fewer runtime errors
  

If you update your content model, just run:

npm exec flotiq-api-typegen

Boom. Your SDK is in sync again. This tight coupling dramatically reduces integration time and improves developer happiness.

3. Structured Content that Works for Everyone

Flotiq makes it easy to define structured content via its visual editor. You don’t need to write a single line of backend code to define fields like:

• Text, rich text, dates, booleans
  
• Media files (images, videos)
  
• Relations between content types (e.g. Author → BlogPost)
  

Astro then consumes this structured content in a predictable, repeatable way — perfect for building reusable components, templates, and layouts.

4. Effortless Dynamic Routing and SSG

Astro allows both Static Site Generation (SSG) and Server-Side Rendering (SSR), depending on your needs. With Flotiq’s API and the Astro routing system, you can easily:

• Pre-render all pages for better SEO
  
• Generate pages on-demand using dynamic routes
  
• Rebuild content pages when updates happen, via Flotiq webhooks
  

This gives you full control over performance and flexibility — serve only what your users need, when they need it.

5. Real-Time Content Updates with Webhooks

Want your site to update automatically every time a blog post or product description changes? Just configure a Flotiq webhook to trigger a rebuild on platforms like Netlify or Vercel.

No manual deploys. No stale content. Just automation and peace of mind.
