There’s at the moment too many runtimes, configuration choices, and rendering strategies to have to contemplate. You need the velocity and reliability of static, whereas additionally supporting absolutely dynamic, customized responses. Having nice efficiency globally and personalization shouldn’t come at the price of complexity,” Lee Robinson, VP of developer expertise at Vercel, and Tim Neutkens, engineering supervisor for Subsequent.js, wrote in a weblog put up.
