Hydration, Islands, Streaming, Resumability... Me, Oh My!
summary
Covers concrete tradeoffs and working examples: Marco (2014) proves automatic partial hydration and streaming, Astro demonstrates Astro ships zero JavaScript by default and per-island loading strategies, Quick/Build.io introduces Quick's resumability pauses on server and resumes client-side to avoid redoing render work, Vercel reports measurable Next.js gains via streaming SSR with selective hydration, React Server Components keep server code off the wire but risk extra orchestration and larger serialized payloads.
