Next.js has two forms of pre-rendering: Static Generation and
Server-side Rendering. The difference is in when it generates the HTML
for a page.

<List>
<li>
<Link href="https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/pages#static-generation-recommended">
Static Generation
</Link>{' '}
is the pre-rendering method that generates the HTML at build time.
The pre-rendered HTML is then reused on each request.

Sometimes we need to have data in our page that is not static and we
tend to move away from <Code>getStaticProps</Code> to{' '}

<Text>
We have an e-commerce product page that is statically generated, but
we need to disable the &quot;Add to cart&quot; button if we have no
stock. We can combine our data fetching strategies to get the best of
both worlds. We will still generate our product page statically but we
will fetch our stock periodically to update our UI.

<Text>
This page is statically generated so you can see the example below. We
are using <Link href="https://swr.vercel.app">SWR</Link> to fetch the
stock status every 5 seconds and disable the &quot;Add to cart&quot;
button if we have no stock. The stock is a random number so you can
see the button getting disabled and enabled several times.
