## Adapter

An adapter is a special kind of integration that provides an entrypoint for [server-side rendering](https://docs.astro.build/en/guides/server-side-rendering/), it is used to run your project on the server and handle these requests.

> Never used adapter before, but is it helping readers to navigate to SSR Page when they are interested with Adapters [color=green][name=Atharva] 
> It's hard to tell. The adapters are meant **for** SSR. I'd say adding a link to the SSR header is more prompt here. No reason to navigate to another page, when the definition *should* be in the glossary anyway. [name=Voxel]
