## What is server-side rendering? How does it factor in system-design?

## Answer

It's a way of rendering a generally client-side SPA on the server and the sending a fully rendered page on to the client. Hence "server side rendering". It generates the page on the server and send it to the client. The major benefit?: Helps with SEO as it can be scanned (crawled is generally the term used here) for its content.
