Choosing between a database CMS, Git CMS and no CMS
The useful CMS question is not which platform is best. It is what people need to edit, how often the data changes, and which architecture adds the least unnecessary maintenance.
Read articlePractical guides to modern web development
I write about the technologies and decisions I use in real web work. Astro, modern frontend tooling, and modern deployment workflows sit alongside PHP, WordPress, Laravel, APIs, and integrations. The guides are not built around one preferred stack. They focus on why a tool fits, how it behaves in production, and how to build something that remains understandable. Examples range from content-driven sites and Cloudflare deployments to backend features, booking flows, and projects connected to Thailand.
Choose the stack for the problem
Astro is a strong choice for fast, content-driven sites and modern frontend workflows, but it is not a universal replacement for dynamic backends or established publishing systems. PHP, WordPress, Laravel, APIs, and integrations remain sensible choices when their strengths match the job.
- Astro and modern frontend. Build component-based, content-focused sites with fast delivery, clear structure, and only as much client-side JavaScript as the experience needs.
- PHP and content systems. Use PHP, WordPress, or Laravel when editing workflows, dynamic features, plugins, administration, or backend logic are central to the project.
- APIs and production behaviour. Design integrations, deployment, errors, retries, logging, and maintenance as part of the solution rather than details to add later.
