The Tigris integration allows you to use Tigris as your database, and pull your data into your Astro site. This means you can build a static site with Astro, and use the Tigris to power your content. The integration for Astro is available on npm.

How to use the Tigris integration for Astro ​

What could I build with Tigris and Astro? ​

Astro has been on my “to-try” list for a while. This just adds another reason to give it shot! 😃

This is super useful. I’m now pondering how I can put this to use on my blog.

I can highly recommend Tigris with Astro, I use this on my website and it works a dream, and has allowed me to make some awesome features for my site!
Props to everyone involved in Tigris!

Astro has an extensive array of integrations, but this is the first integration for a database.
This integration aims to provide a deeper Astro-native approach to building database-driven applications. In this case, Tigris is used. But I wonder if more database providers may follow suit and start building Astro integrations?
