The Problems With Server Side Rendering

Next JS can do client side, server side and static rendering for you. My preference is still client side rendering in most cases. And then pre rendering for some other cases. One of the bigger problems with server side rendering that I encountered at a fairly large company is that it doesn't scale well or we couldn't find a way to get it to scale nicely for high traffic sites. You have to realize that to render react on the server, you need to use node JS. That's the only way to run JavaScript outside of a browser is using node.
