It is very important to choose a right component library that comes with what you need to build the most complex pieces of user interface, up-to-date documentation and strong community support.

After exploring Blazor Server and utilizing it in a production environment, I noticed a significant lack of comprehensive best practices available online.

I have been an avid user of Blazor since its early stages, and I must admit that I enjoy both flavors of Blazor. A frequently asked question I receive is regarding the superiority between the two. In this blog post, we will first examine the key architectural distinctions between the two, followed by an exploration of why one should opt for one over the other.
