Welcome to my personal Blog! 🎉

I will be using this one to post articles about programming, tips etc.

This blog is powered by [AstroJS](https://astro.build/), [Strapi v4](https://strapi.io/), [GraphQL](https://graphql.org/) and is hosted on [Netlify](https://www.netlify.com/) and [AWS](https://aws.amazon.com/). Why Astro? Unlike some other frameworks, **Astro** is HTML-first, outputs zero JavaScript by default, and supports both static site generation (SSG) and server-side rendering (SSR). It abstracts away most of the complex configuration involved in managing asynchronous data, middleware, and routing, and currently it's my goto framework for landing pages since it’s blazing fast. Try out a [performance test](https://pagespeed.web.dev/) on my website and see for yourself. 🚀 

On the other hand Strapi is by far the most elegant CMS solution out there, I’ve been using it for a while and I can totally recommend it to you! It’s extremely straight forward to get along with and features a beautiful UI. Wanna give the Astro + Strapi combination a try? Then check out the tutorial I started with [here](https://strapi.io/blog/how-to-build-a-blog-with-astro-strapi-and-tailwind-css)!

Wish you a great day no matter where you are and stay tuned!

Cheers! 🍺
