Static Generation vs Server-side Rendering

In Next.js, developers can choose between Static Generation (SSG) and Server-side Rendering (SSR) depending on the project's needs. SSG generates HTML at build time, making pages load faster and allowing caching through CDNs. SSR, on the other hand, renders pages at request time, making it suitable for dynamic content. Each method affects performance and SEO differently. You can use `getStaticProps` for SSG and `getServerSideProps` for SSR. Hybrid approaches are also possible, depending on specific route requirements.
