Server Side Rendering (SSR) took a backseat when dynamic JavaScript frontends built in AngularJS went mainstream. Node.js brought JavaScript under the realm of backend development, giving rise to isomorphic coding. AngularJS(v1.X) did not support server side rendering. When React and Angular (v2.0+) came along with first class support for server side rendering and developers realized its full potential, the dynamics of isomorphic JavaScript coding began to fall away from web browsers to Node servers. Our Reactjs developers were attempting to rework an application originally built in AngularJS. We invested many hours of efforts to heighten the performance but the client insisted that the application was doing more or less the same in AngularJS.
