The idea behind the example

React Server Side rendering is very costly and takes a lot of server's CPU power for that. One of the best solutions for this problem is cache already rendered pages. That's what this example demonstrate.

This app uses Next's custom server and routing mode. It also uses express to handle routing and page serving.
