  The same company that built its entire identity around Jamstack and static site generation pivoted to serverless, then became the cheerleaders of SSR—the complete opposite of what they originally pushed.

This is wrong. Next.js was originally created to make SSR easy for React.[0] There was no easy way to do it back then. Almost all React apps were client side rendered and had terrible initial load speeds.

The SSG/Jamstack came later as features.

They didn't pivot from SSG to serverless. These aren't even comparable things. Serverless is just lambda functions. SSG is generating static files from React.

Vercel (formerly Zeit) pivoted from always-on servers to serverless functions. Next.js SSR can function in serverless or always-on server mode.
