Server-side rendering (SSR) is back in the spotlight. In this workshop, we’ll explore the mechanics, trade-offs, and modern techniques of SSR with React.js. We’ll start by building an SSR app from scratch, without any frameworks, just raw renderToString and hydrateRoot, to truly understand how React renders on the server and hydrates on the client. From there, we’ll upgrade to React 18’s streaming capabilities using renderToPipeableStream, implement selective hydration with Suspense, and integrate data fetching directly into the server render cycle. We’ll look at React Server Components (RSC) and show how they complement SSR. Finally, we’ll peek under the hood of the official RSC implementation to get a sense of how it actually works.

In today’s fast-paced digital environment, our attention is constantly under attack. Notifications, deadlines and endless to-do lists fragment our focus and drain our energy. Mindfulness offers practical, science-based tools to regain clarity, reduce stress and boost productivity.

This short workshop will give you practical techniques you can start using immediately to strengthen focus and bring more balance into your day.
