This blog post dives into how you can use Fastify, Vite, and @fastify/vite to produce a small, low-overhead application setup that has the absolute minimal set of dependencies and moving parts. This setup achieved similar SSR performance but with a fraction of dependencies from Astro, making the overall development setup much smaller. The post first gives a crash course on Vite, then walks through how to integrate it into Fastify applications, before finally moving on to the rewrite.
