Why our marketing site is static

The Solar Cat app is a living thing: a desktop client, a web dashboard, an MCP bridge, all backed by a database. But the marketing site in front of it does not need any of that.

Marketing pages change rarely and must load instantly. So this site is built with Astro, which ships zero JavaScript by default, and deployed as plain HTML to a CDN. Editors change content through a Git-backed CMS — every edit is a commit, every commit is a deploy.

No servers, no runtime, no cold starts. Just fast pages at the edge.
