The web began with server-side rendering, and with some extra help from jQuery, we were happy.

Then came the early 2010's, and a new generation of framework emerged, lead by AngularJS, and ushered in the client-side rendering revolution.

In the last 3-4 years, there's been another revolution, lead by ReactJS, but this one is silent - hybrid rendering.

In this talk I'll go through the benefits and pitfalls of both "classic" rendering techniques in historical context and nowadays, and showcase tools such as NextJS and Gatsby and how they allow any developer to improve their product in ways that seemed impossible just a few years ago.
