Next.js: Choosing an Optimal Rendering Pattern for your Application
summary
Compares concrete rendering patterns in Next.js and when to use each: Single Page Apps trade simplicity for a white screen and poor SEO; SSG yields instant HTML but has long build times for many pages; SSR streams fresh HTML but loses CDN caching and depends on backend latency; ISR rebuilds pages on an interval (example 15 minutes) to regain CDN speed; the experimental partial prerendering mixes CDN-served static shells with streamed react server components, aiming to hit both performance and realtime needs.
