Every frontend engineer should understand when to use SSR, SSG, ISR, or CSR, and more importantly, why.
I've started a Frontend System Design series called Bazaar, where I use a real application to break down frontend architecture and scalability decisions.
In Episode 2, we look at:
- Why SSR isn't only about SEO
- The hidden cost of hydration
- SSR vs SSG vs ISR vs CSR
- Why different pages can need completely different rendering strategies
- How these decisions affect real-world performance
With AI making coding easier, I believe system design and engineering decisions are becoming even more important.

More episodes coming as we build Bazaar from the ground up.
