Client render vs. server render vs. serverless

The text explains the differences between client render, server render, and serverless architecture in web development. Client render involves sending a small amount of code to the user's device to build the page locally, reducing server load but potentially varying performance based on the user's hardware. Server render, in contrast, sends a fully constructed page from the server, ensuring consistent performance across devices but increasing server resource usage. Serverless architecture allows developers to offload server resource management to third-party providers like Google or Amazon, which can scale as needed, and is optimal for functions that don't require constant server availability. The text also provides a tutorial on implementing these methods, highlighting the setup and execution of client and server render, as well as serverless functions with Node.js and Express, and discusses the trade-offs and benefits of each approach, suggesting a hybrid model as often the most practical solution.
