A static page, with a dynamic realtime backend

Serverless Pre-Rendering

This is an example landing page whose content is stored and edited via a dynamic backend. Yet all responses are instant, served from our edge cache.

When you refresh this page, it feels like it's a static website.

Static meets Dynamic

Serverless Pre-Rendering is an alternative to Incremental Static Regeneration that has tradeoffs, but overall more flexibility.

Serverless Pre-Rendering ensures:

Instant page loads 🔥. No matter how fast or slow your backend or datasources
Fault tolerance. By default, backend errors don't invalidate the pre-generated copy
Realtime updates. Updates can be triggered as frequently as every second.
Cost effectiveness. We only issue one request to your backend functions, while serving it millions of times a second.
Great for SEO. Solutions involving client-heavy stacks delay Google's crawling by up to two weeks. Serverless pre-rendering fixes that.

With improvements to Static-Site Generation, we recommend exploring that option first. If you need more flexibility, Serverless Pre-Rendering retains the majority of the benefits of static sites with more flexibility.

Use-cases

The benefits of serverless pre-rendering impact your ability to iterate on content, by leveraging databases and headless CMS solutions. They make your business and your page loads run faster.

Marketing pages. Such as the pages explaining a new product or service.
