Getting to the glass - approaches to rendering views on the web
summary
Compares concrete pipelines: pre-generated pages served from CDN, tiny edge function injection (TypeScript) that inserts HTML for a cookie banner so no client JS is required, and serverless APIs placed near data plus CDN caching using stale-while-revalidate. Shows a Remix demo that injects consent HTML at the edge, reports single-digit–tens ms enhancement latency, and outlines using the same pattern for localization and live product details; the demo deploys and runs successfully.
