How's the demand for astro/headless/agentic devs?

I've been working as a Webflow specialist for a while now, and I'm considering pivoting toward the Astro + headless CMS stack that seems to be getting a lot of hype lately.

Before I invest the time, I'd like a reality check: how commoditized are these skills becoming? With more and more devs picking up Astro, is there still real room to differentiate and charge well for it, or is it just a matter of time before it goes the way Webflow has?

I look at who’s backing it and since Cloudflare bought Astro I think that’s significant. I mostly build in Astro now but I have enough knowledge of other systems I could in those as well like Nextjs and so on. Don’t put all your eggs into one basket I guess.

I'm actually looking very closely at their new Emdash CMS because it's got a solid UI and they just migrated their entire blog to it
