I'm curious: how do you think about client vs server side rendering? What happens where?

  For apps which need it, everything generally happens in both places. The server-side render fetches all the appropriate data and displays a fully rendered version of the page. That being said, I think you should carefully consider whether server-side rendering is necessary for your application before adding it. It does complicate your stack and is not worth it unless either first-load performance or SEO are important to you.

    Thanks! Are you using the Django template language on the server or using React somehow?

      If a project requires server-side rendering, I render it using React on a Node server. I don't use Django templates for anything these days.
