Islands Architecture
Balances paradigms of Web Development that pursue fast, navigable sites with many public facing pages (such as Static Site Generation, Server Side Rendering) with interactive behavior customized to the user (such as Client-Side Rendering).
"The term Islands architecture was popularized by Katie Sylor-Miller and Jason Miller to describe a paradigm that aims to reduce the volume of JavaScript shipped through “islands” of interactivity that can be independent delivered on top of otherwise static HTML. Islands are a component-based architecture that suggests a compartmentalized view of the page with static and dynamic islands. The static regions of the page are pure non-interactive HTML and do not need hydration. The dynamic regions are a combination of HTML and scripts capable of rehydrating themselves after rendering."
