Astro Crash Course #11 - Server Side Rendering
Net Ninja
Apr 14, 2026
Static site generation is powerful, but dynamic content requires a shift to server-side rendering. By integrating server adapters and toggling the pre-render constant, you enable real-time data fetching to ensure your site reflects the most current information for every user request.
Key insight: Setting 'export const prerender = false' in Astro effectively tells the server to bypass build-time generation and render the page on-demand upon every user request.
