Welcome to another episode of AntStack TV 🎙️!
In this episode, we explore the evolution of front-end development, tracing the journey from traditional MVC architectures to modern frameworks like React and Next.js.
We explore how front-end applications have evolved, the challenges of Client-Side Rendering (CSR), Server-Side Rendering (SSR), and Static Site Generation (SSG), and how developers can make informed choices for their tech stack.
Key Topics Discussed:
🔵 The shift from PHP, Rails, and monolithic frameworks to modern front-end stacks
🔵 How SPAs transformed web interactivity and their trade-offs
🔵 Understanding CSR vs. SSR vs. SSG – When to use which?
🔵 The role of performance optimization and scalability in front-end decisions
Speakers:
🔵 Rahul Sawant – Principal Solutions Architect at AntStack
🔵 Prashanth HN – CTO & Co-founder, AntStack
If you're a front-end developer, tech lead, or architect navigating the complexities of modern front-end development, this episode is a must-watch!
