Rendering strategy
Choose static generation, server rendering, streaming, or client updates according to freshness, personalization, and interaction needs.
Next.js is most valuable when its rendering and routing model is treated as architecture, not simply as a React project generator.
We use Next.js when a product benefits from server rendering, static generation, route-level composition, optimized delivery, and a unified web application boundary. The correct rendering strategy is chosen per data path rather than applied indiscriminately to the entire product.
Choose static generation, server rendering, streaming, or client updates according to freshness, personalization, and interaction needs.
Keep data and sensitive operations on the server while sending browser JavaScript only where interaction requires it.
Define what is cached, for whom, for how long, and which event makes it stale.
Shape layouts, loading states, errors, metadata, and URL semantics as part of the product experience.
