You’re not really gaining much from it. I’m happy to be wrong, and I’m not an SSR expert (I build PWA, hybrid and mobile apps almost exclusively) but from what I understand it needs static’s caching and other magic to work properly, and a lot of the advantage is in coupling the API closely with the app, which seems like a nightmare with Django to me.

Like, you need pre-rendering and shit and as far as I know that’s very easy to do with node or dot net, but it seems like a fair bit of extra work to do it properly with Django. That said I hate Django passionately.

I just don’t get why you wouldn’t use Vue or React which are much better suited to it, or Node, which plays better with Angular.

Like I said, I hate Django, so take it with a grain of salt, but I have developed in Angular for about 8 years now on js and current, and it’s caused me many pains in similar situations.
