[MUSIC PLAYING] JESSICA JANIUK: Hey, everyone. I'm Jessica Janiuk
from the Angular team, and I'm here with some
very exciting news about the future of Angular's
server side technology plans. Up until this point,
Angular applications that rely on server
side rendering have faced a major
challenge, hydration. We've used a solution called
destructive hydration, which means that the app is
rendered on the server side, and then re-rendered from
scratch again in the browser. Not ideal, right? Of course, there has
to be a better way, and we think so too. The team and I have been
working on implementing a non-destructive hydration
technique for server side rendering in Angular. Now Angular apps using SSR
will support full hydration. Meaning that the apps will
be rendered on the server side sent to the
browser and Angular will try to match and reuse
as much of your app structure as it can instead of
re-rendering it like before. Applications will have
improved core web vitals and be able to take advantage
of all the benefits of server side rendered applications. Oh, and I have something
even more excellent to share with you. I'm pleased to announce
that the first developer preview of this feature is
available now in the latest release, Angular v16. That's right, developers
can update their apps and start experimenting
with this feature. Since this is a
developer preview, you can expect APIs
to still be changed, as well as various
implementation improvements as we continue to build
out the remaining features. Here's a sneak peek at
what's on the horizon. We'll be working on
stabilizing the APIs, working on support for
internationalization, and exploring fancy features,
like more granular hydration. We're so excited
about this new update and can't wait to hear
what you think and see the great apps you'll build. Live long and prosper and
stay hydrated, friends.
