50 shades of React rendering with Next.js
summary
Compares CSR, SSR, SSG and ISR in Next.js using a concrete product details page and shows exactly which APIs are used: getServerSideProps, getStaticProps with getStaticPaths, and the revalidate option plus fallback: false/true/blocking. Explains tradeoffs: CSR for highly interactive or third‑party widgets, SSR for per‑user or rapidly changing data, SSG for logged‑out content, ISR to prebuild top N pages (example: prebuild 100, generate thousands on demand) and cache updates without full rebuilds.
