The Future (and the Past) of the Web Is Server Side Rendering
Rendertron is deprecated
Please note that this project is deprecated. Dynamic rendering is not a recommended approach and there are better approaches to rendering on the web.
Rendertron will not be actively maintained at this point.

Use SSR only for search engines
Are you worried that rendertron isn't being maintained? (https://github.com/GoogleChrome/rendertron/issues/865 and https://github.com/GoogleChrome/rendertron/issues/801) Have you thought about using anything else or doing it yourself with Puppeteer or Playwright?

How to combine React Native Web + responsivity + NextJS SSR, to get SEO
Googlebot: SSR a non-responsive mobile version only for the Googlebot User Agent, to get SEO. But do Client-Side Rendering (CSR) for users, to get full responsivity. Could be done with manual user-agent sniffing, or with a GoogleChrome/Rendertron proxy. Though Google may not like being fed something different than users (different initial markup, even though resulting markup after React’s first CSR should be the same). But it might be problematic long-term to SSR only for the Googlebot, since it’s effectively serving the Googlebot something else than what the users get.. Google might crack down on it, since it could be abused.

Anyone tried Deno for something serious??
This might be another one: https://github.com/GoogleChrome/rendertron (not sure if it does everything that prerender does or not).

Next.js 11 released
Still prefer CRA with Dynamic Rendering with rendertron over Next.js and Gatsby...

Do you really need NextJS for SSR? 🤔
A demo Rendertron service is available at https://render-tron.appspot.com/. It is not designed to be used as a production endpoint. You can use it, but there are no uptime guarantees.
