Incremental rendering

[cyco130]

The page is server-rendered on the first request and cached. Subsequent requests work like static rendering until an adjustable max age. Stale-while-revalidate strategy can be used but it may be opted out from.

When deploying on Cloudflare Workers, we can use the cache instead of the file system.

We can even consider pluggable caches (file system, redis, even memory for small apps).

Next.js added on-demand revalidation for incrementally rendered pages which makes this feature much more usable. Almost essential to have.
