Max Parelius – Create a server side rendered react app with no build configuration

Server side rendered react apps come with lots of challenges. There are lots of considerations to think of such as tooling and building for dev and production, the rendering server language, routing, authentication, state, etc. Frameworks exist to make it easier such as NextJS which work great for beginners or smaller projects. The problem for us at Trustwork is that these frameworks are too opinionative and constraining. We wanted something that only handled the build configuration and left the other decisions to the developer. We loved create react app and it’s philosophy so we decided to make create react ssr app which tries to be as similar to create react app as possible with only the changes necessary to support server side rendering. During this talk we will explore how to use it and how it works.
