Lessons learnt building an isomorphic application

Speaker: William Durand

Let's talk about Server Side Rendering and isomorphic JavaScript applications!

Server Side Rendering (SSR) is a technique to reuse client-side JavaScript code on the server, mainly to speed up the initial "page load". It is considered one of the most complicated features to implement in the JS ecosystem. Yet, web applications with a high traffic often need it.

In this talk, I’ll start by introducing the concept of SSR and universal (or isomorphic) applications. The second part of this presentation will be dedicated to what I've learnt building the new Mozilla Add-Ons frontend https://addons.mozilla.org
