Dante’s Inferno of Fullstack Development (A Brief History)
summary
A rapid five‑year sweep claims the web cycles from static first to server everything, tracing concrete pivots: Node unlocking full‑stack JavaScript, Gatsby and other SSGs creating build‑time pages, single‑page apps introducing the hydration spinner problem, and Next.js popularizing incremental static regeneration to reduce build time. Newer solutions add server components and server islands (Astro) to stream HTML and cache selectively, with measurable tradeoffs in SEO, first‑byte speed, bundle size, and build duration.
