Server-side rendering is something that has been tragically overlooked by a lot of teams.

With no amount of client-side javascript could you ever hope to build something that brings fresh business data to a customer's eyeballs faster than if the server simply delivers the final DOM on the initial page request.

Our Blazor web apps are running in server-side mode, and they are some of the fastest web applications that we use on any given day. Server-side doesnt necessarily always mean full page reloads upon interaction. Websockets are pretty cool.

Hackernews is the only other website that feels approximately as fast to me.

Is it scaling well? Do you have a lot of concurrent users?

I'm thinking o using blazor server in a production app, but the latency and higher costs may be a problem. Wasm is not ideal for me because of the high initial payload.
