Summary
In this chapter, we explored SSR in the context of React applications. We discussed approaches such as SSR, SSG, and ISR, learning the advantages and disadvantages of each approach.
Then, we learned how to apply these approaches in an application using Next.js and the Pages Router. Finally, we introduced a new technology called React Server Components and the updated Next.js architecture called the App Router. This shift allows us to simplify our code significantly while leveraging powerful features such as streaming with loading.tsx and improved data fetching that can be done on the server side.
Mastering these rendering strategies is essential for any professional developer, as it provides the architectural toolkit to build high-performance, SEO-friendly applications that scale efficiently.
In the next chapter, we will learn how to test our components and applications.
