Get Started with Astro and Redis

Astro is a new tool for building fast content sites, featuring zero JavaScript by default and the flexibility to integrate with various frameworks like Svelte, React, or Vue. This tutorial guides users through creating a basic notes app using Astro and a serverless Redis database provided by Upstash, hosted on Cloudflare. It covers setting up the project with Astro's file-based routing, creating an API endpoint in TypeScript, and integrating Svelte components. The guide emphasizes minimal JavaScript use, relying predominantly on standard browser APIs, and explains how to handle CRUD operations with the Redis database using HTTP requests. It also details the deployment process to Cloudflare, including necessary adjustments for server-side rendering and environment variable management. This tutorial serves as an introduction to leveraging Astro and Redis for building scalable web applications.
