AutoMem.AI Website

Marketing site, blog, and product documentation for AutoMem — an intelligent memory service for AI agents.

Live: https://automem.ai

Tech Stack

• Framework: Astro 6.1 with React 19 islands
• Styling: Tailwind CSS v4 (Vite plugin, not PostCSS)
• Docs: Starlight at /docs/*
• Content: Custom blog collection (src/content/blog/NN-slug/index.md) + Starlight docs + EmDash CMS
• Hosting: Cloudflare Pages with Pages Functions, D1 databases, and KV

Architecture

Three runtimes share this project:

• Astro SSR pages render the marketing site, blog, and Starlight docs.
• Cloudflare Pages Functions in functions/ (plain .js) handle the waitlist signup, double-opt-in confirm, unsubscribe, and admin broadcast endpoints. They are dispatched through src/middleware.ts.
• EmDash CMS is mounted at /_emdash/* for editorial workflows, backed by its own D1 database and KV-stored sessions.

npm run dev swaps the Cloudflare adapter out and uses libsql + filesystem sessions locally (workerd cannot load Node DB drivers in dev). npm run build swaps the adapter back in and uses D1 + KV.

Development

npm install

npm run dev          # Astro dev server on http://localhost:5000 (host 0.0.0.0)
npm run build        # Production build via scripts/build-pages.mjs
npm run preview      # Preview production build
npm run check-links  # Linkinator broken-link check (run AFTER npm run build)

Always use npm run build, never astro build directly — the build pipeline does extra work (see below).

Build Pipeline

npm run build runs scripts/build-pages.mjs, which:

1. Temporarily strips pages_build_output_dir from wrangler.toml (Astro's adapter rejects the build if it's present).
2. Runs astro build.
3. Runs scripts/bundle-worker.mjs (esbuild) to bundle the Pages worker.
4. Restores the original wrangler.toml in a finally block.

The src/live.config.ts and src/live.config.emdash.ts files are kept side-by-side so EmDash can read whichever one is appropriate per environment — they're not swapped during the build.

Cloudflare Setup

The waitlist needs a D1 database; EmDash needs a second D1 database and a KV namespace.

# Create the waitlist D1
npx wrangler d1 create automem-waitlist
npx wrangler d1 execute automem-waitlist --file=./schema/d1-schema.sql

# Create the EmDash D1
npx wrangler d1 create automem-emdash

# Create the sessions KV
npx wrangler kv namespace create SESSION

Update wrangler.toml with your own database and namespace IDs. The IDs in this repo point at the verygoodplugins/automem-website deployment and are not credentials — they're resource pointers and won't grant access without the matching Cloudflare account.

See WAITLIST_SETUP.md for the full waitlist setup, including double-opt-in and Resend wiring.

Environment Variables

Public vars are declared in wrangler.toml (PUBLIC_API_URL, PUBLIC_GITHUB_URL, PUBLIC_TURNSTILE_SITE_KEY).

Secrets are never committed — set them in the Cloudflare Pages dashboard under Settings → Environment variables → Encrypted, or via wrangler pages secret put. The endpoints expect:

Variable	Used by	Notes
ADMIN_TOKEN	functions/admin/*	Long random string; bearer auth for admin endpoints
RESEND_API_KEY	signup, confirm, broadcast, admin preview, EmDash email	Resend API key
TURNSTILE_SECRET_KEY	functions/api/signup.js	Cloudflare Turnstile server secret
CONFIRM_SECRET	confirm, unsubscribe	HMAC signing secret (falls back to ADMIN_TOKEN)
FROM_EMAIL, FROM_NAME, BASE_URL	email senders	Defaults exist; override per environment
DOUBLE_OPT_IN, SEND_WELCOME_EMAIL	signup	Feature flags

For local dev, mirror these in .dev.vars (gitignored).

Deployment

Deployed to Cloudflare Pages. The site auto-builds from main via the connected Git integration; the build command is npm run build and the output directory is dist/client. A GitHub Actions workflow at .github/workflows/deploy.yml is also configured.

To deploy manually:

npm run build
npx wrangler pages deploy dist/client --project-name=automem-website

Conventions

• Conventional Commits (feat(scope):, fix(scope):, docs:, chore:, refactor:).
• TypeScript strict mode (extends astro/tsconfigs/strict); ESM throughout.
• Versioning is managed by Release Please — don't bump package.json by hand.
• Don't switch Tailwind to PostCSS; the project uses @tailwindcss/vite.
• Don't commit .env, .dev.vars, data/, uploads/, or .wrangler/.
