I built a re-imagined version of Hacker News: https://hn.boxpiper.com/ on top of create react app and added some webpack configurations for performance boost. Because of SSR, app used to take a considerable amount of time for the processing and rendering. Used redis for caching but performance was still a question. The intent was to never wait for data.
