## What it is
A React renderer for Node.js that renders components to a stream instead of a synchronous string, as a drop-in replacement for ReactDOM.renderToString. It improves time-to-first-byte and reduces memory pressure on servers rendering large React pages.

## Use cases
- stream react pages to the browser faster
- reduce server memory usage when server-rendering react
- lower time to first byte for large react pages
- replace renderToString with an async streaming renderer
- avoid cpu starvation from synchronous react ssr

## When to choose
- you are stuck on an old React version without built-in streaming SSR
- your server-rendered pages are large and TTFB latency is a problem

## When to avoid
- you use modern React, which includes renderToPipeableStream natively
- you need a maintained library with active support
- your pages are small and renderToString performance is fine
