Unlocking Server-Side Rendering (SSR)

In this Hasty Treat, Scott and Wes talk about server side rendering — what it is, how to use it, best practices, things to avoid, and more!

If you want to know what’s happening with your errors, track them with Sentry. Sentry is open-source error tracking that helps developers monitor and fix crashes in real time. Cut your time on error resolution from five hours to five minutes. It works with any language and integrates with dozens of other services. Syntax listeners can get two months for free by visiting Sentry.io and using the coupon code “tastytreat”.
