Extreme Server-Side Rendering (XSSR): A Flappy Bird Case Study
2025-02-23
This article introduces Extreme Server-Side Rendering (XSSR), a technique that renders dynamic web pages without JavaScript by dynamically generating HTML on the server and continuously streaming updates to the client. The author demonstrates XSSR using a Flappy Bird game, discussing its performance, bandwidth implications, and potential for Denial-of-Service (DoS) attacks. XSSR performs well in low-latency environments but suffers from lag in high-latency scenarios. The technology holds promise for running modern web pages on older devices or browsers without JavaScript support.
