Talk: Tanner Linsley - “SPA to SSR and Everything in Between”, React Summit 2025

React’s transformative impact, community support, and server-side evolution highlighted. Exciting developments from static site generators like Next.js and Gatsby to server-side rendering evolution, including React Fiber, Hooks, and server components. The pressure on servers in 2020 led to the announcement of server components, a complex but transformative idea. New challenges arise with weaving server and client, requiring adaptation and file organization. Evaluation of React server components’ worth based on server-side needs and bundle issues. SPAs are prevalent and valued, despite the focus on client-side apps. TanStack Router offers unparalleled URL state management and type safety, enhancing SPA development. Exciting developments ahead with the DaVinci release, supported by sponsors for TanStack’s full-time commitment and core contributors.
