## What it is
Rendora is a dynamic renderer written in Go that acts as a reverse HTTP proxy, serving headless-Chrome-rendered HTML to web crawlers while passing normal requests through untouched. It provides zero-configuration server-side rendering for SPAs built with React, Vue, or Angular without any changes to frontend or backend code.

## Use cases
- improve SEO for a React or Vue single-page app
- serve rendered HTML to Googlebot and Bingbot
- add dynamic rendering without changing backend code
- render JavaScript pages for crawlers using headless Chrome
- proxy requests and render whitelisted user agents
- cache server-side rendered pages for bots

## When to choose
- you have an existing SPA and need crawler-friendly HTML with zero code changes
- you want a single fast Go binary with built-in caching and Prometheus metrics
- you need user-agent and path-based filtering for dynamic rendering

## When to avoid
- you want full SSR integrated into your framework build (use Next.js or Nuxt)
- your site is mostly static and prerendering at build time suffices
- you need an actively developed project with frequent updates

## Facets
- artifact type: service
- maturity: maintenance
- function: ssr, http-server, proxy, caching, web-scraping
- domain: web-development, frontend, backend
- platform: go, self-hosted
