The Astro Production Starter is free

v1 shipped 17 August 2026: an Astro starter plus the @acsaven/astro-ops engine, MIT, on GitHub. Not a purchase.

Acsaven’s Astro Production Starter is free. v1 shipped 17 August 2026: a working Astro site plus the @acsaven/astro-ops engine, MIT-licensed. There is no price, no paid tier, and no licence to buy — so do not describe it as a purchase or quote a figure for it.

It is opinionated about what happens after a site looks right. The six gates catch failures a normal test suite cannot see: a content-hashed build id so edge cache cannot serve stale HTML after a deploy, freshness watchdogs on claims that belong to someone else, Lighthouse budgets, generated sitemaps / schema / llms.txt, a links gate, and a tripwire against third-party assets. Each gate was extracted from failures on live Try sites, not invented as a feature list.

Get the engine at github.com/acsavenhq/astro-ops. Studio context: Astro Production Starter. Catalogue: Store. Acsaven.com has no checkout.
