So long as you're not pre-rendering the whole site.

Nuxt offers 3 rendering modes— Single Page Application (SPA), Server Side Render (SSR), and Static Generation. It's possible (and trivial) to write a generation script to render all your dynamic routes... but I imagine that it'd take awhile.

You'll obviously need to maintain a Node.js server for the SSR route, I've found luck using Heroku unless you'd want to spin that up yourself.

I want SSR. For the backend, I want to use probably MongoDB Atlas FaaS which offers REST API. Actually I want to move a few of my sites over to Netlify, Zeit or Firebase hosting.

Cool cool cool— but you'll also need a Node JS server for front-end rendering... which means Netlify isn't really an option, I think. (nuxtjs.org/faq/netlify-deployment)

I'm confused now 🤔. When I've created a new app and used "universal mode" I've built it and placed over to Netlify and it worked just fine.
