Astro & Strapi Website tutorial: Part 3 - Project Build

In this tutorial, we built a multilingual blog website using Astro and Strapi CMS. We started by setting up the development environment for both technologies. Then, we created a new content type in Strapi called "Blogs" with different fields such as title, content, image, etc. After that, we used Dynamic Zones to allow users to create custom blog layouts using blocks. Next, we built the frontend of our website using Astro and implemented Static Site Generation (SSG) for performance optimization. We also implemented Pagination in Astro to handle large data sets with ease. Additionally, we enabled Internationalization to render blog content in both English and Spanish languages. Finally, we changed Astro's default behavior from Static Site Generation (SSG) to Server-Side Rendering (SSR) using the node adapter. This allowed us to update the UI in real time when new blog posts were added. We also fixed an issue with pagination not showing newly created blog posts without rebuilding our application. By the end of this tutorial, we had successfully built a multilingual blog website using Astro and Strapi CMS.
