Astro Adapters

Plugins that allow Astro sites to be deployed to specific SSR environments.

Edit Concept ✏️

Astro Adapters

By default, Astro builds a static site. To use Server-Side Rendering (SSR) or Hybrid rendering, you must install an Adapter that matches your deployment platform (e.g., Vercel, Netlify, Cloudflare, Node.js).

Responsibilities

  • Request/Response Mapping: Translating platform-specific request objects to standard Web APIs.
  • Server Entry Point: Generating the code necessary to run the Astro engine on the target server/edge.
  • Feature Support: Enabling platform-specific features like Middleware or Image Optimization.
