# Content site in production

The static-first stack: Cloudflare's edge absorbs most reads, Astro renders MDX on misses, content is checked into the repo.

THE HEADLINE

### Edge absorbs the reads

Nearly every reader is served by Cloudflare's edge cache. The Astro origin only wakes on a cold slug or a revalidation.

### Content lives in the repo

- Posts are MDX files
- Checked in, reviewed in PRs
- No runtime database

### CMS holds the big stuff

Images, OG art, and downloadable assets live in a separate bucket keyed by slug. Astro links them at render time.
