Headless CMS + SSG Stack (Strapi, Astro, PostgreSQL, Cloudflare Workers, TypeScript) overview

A content management architecture decoupling the authoring experience from the presentation layer. Strapi provides a self-hosted headless CMS with a visual content-type builder, role-based access control, and a REST/GraphQL API. Astro generates static HTML at build time from CMS content, producing sub-second page loads. Cloudflare Workers handle incremental static regeneration and edge-side personalization. PostgreSQL stores CMS content, media metadata, and user accounts. TypeScript ensures type safety across Astro components and Strapi customizations. This stack is ideal for marketing sites, corporate blogs, documentation portals, and any content-heavy site where editors need a friendly UI and developers need full control over the frontend. The tradeoff is build times — large content catalogs require incremental builds or on-demand regeneration to avoid multi-minute deploy cycles.
