It's Next After React
Speaker: Darshan Rander
Abstract
Next.js supports multiple rendering strategies, including
SSG, SSR, CSR, ISR, Streaming, Partial Prerendering and
React Server Components - but what actually makes them
different? In this session, we'll use the App Router's build
output to explore how each rendering pattern is represented
inside the .next directory, what artifacts
Next.js generates, and how they affect runtime behaviour.
Along the way, we'll connect concepts like React Server Components, the Flight protocol, hydration and caching to the files produced during a build, giving you a practical mental model of how Next.js works under the hood and how to choose the right rendering strategy for your application.
