Client-Side Rendering (CSR) has become standard and predictable in modern web app development, leading to a shift towards alternative approaches.
Server-Side Rendering (SSR) has regained popularity as it simplifies the development process by rendering content on the server, eliminating the need for client-side data fetching and hydration.
Edge rendering technologies like Cloudflare Workers and Vercel Edge Functions are enabling dynamic content delivery with near-static performance, revolutionizing backend operations for modern applications.
The rise of the islands architecture approach, championed by tools like Astro, Qwik, and Marko, promotes partial hydration of interactive elements, leading to more efficient rendering and improved user experience.
