It falls down in one specific case: content that should change on a schedule you are not rebuilding on. A page showing twelve rotating items each day, with a weekly deploy cadence, cannot get its data from the build.</p> <p>The naive fix puts a <code>fetch</code> in the browser. Every visitor then hits the upstream API directly, which burns through rate limits, exposes any key you are using, and leaves the page empty when the provider has a bad afternoon.</p>
