Server-Side Rendered Web Application VS Static Site Generators
Get a brief introduction to Sapper's two ways of deploying and operating web applications.
We'll cover the following
Sapper provides two ways to deploy and operate our web application:
- Deploy a Sapper server and use server-side rendering (SSR).
- Use Sapper as a static site generator (SSG).
Server-side rendering (SSR)
In this scenario, we will first build the web application with sapper build. This generates JavaScript bundles at __sapper__/build, one per route defined in
src/routes. This is commonly referred to as code-splitting. To start the server, we use Node.js and execute node __sapper__/build. This can be done in a
Dockerfile, for example.
