I've got a customer with a complex UI where a lot of things happen. Basically a desktop application in a browser. We built a SPA for that.

Then there are the AWS and Google consoles where nearly every click loads a new page and I don't complain, because it's ok. And Amazon, the shopping site. Every click into a product loads a new page. They seem to be doing pretty well.

I would build SPAs where it's difficult to give a different URL to what's on screen after every click. Server side rendering in every other case.
