The reason React was made is because it's an easier way to reason about apps at scale, with many components and people working on them. As a result, there will be less errors and your team can move faster. It has nothing to do with offloading rendering to the client.
- tannhaeuser 7y agoHow is "reasoning" about apps at scale easier with React vs static or classic server-side HTML rendering where everything is addressed by a URL?
- a13n 7y agoIt isn't, but requirements rarely allow for static websites.
- pmontra 7y agoAmazon could be a server rendered web site and it is. AWS's and Google Cloud's consoles are borderline. Google Docs must be a client side app. I worked on 3 projects this year, using Rails, Django and Phoenix. Only one of them has a front end that requires a client side app. The other two are within the bounds of server side rendering. That saves time and money to the customer.
