+> This guide assumes you read the [Web](web.md) guide and installed the [Dioxus-cli](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/cli)
+
+# Fullstack development
+
+We can combine the `dioxus-web` renderer with the `dioxus-ssr` renderer to create a full-stack Dioxus application. By combining server-side rendering with client-side hydration we can create an application that is initially rendered on the server and then hydrates the application on the client. Server-side rendering results in a fast first paint and make our page SEO-friendly. Client-side hydration makes our page responsive once the application has fully loaded.
+
+To help make full-stack development easier, Dioxus provides a `dioxus-server` crate that integrates with popular web frameworks with utilities for full-stack development.
+
+## Setup
+
+For this guide, we're going to show how to use Dioxus with [Axum](https://docs.rs/axum/latest/axum/), but `dioxus-server` also integrates with the [Warp](https://docs.rs/warp/latest/warp/) and [Salvo](https://docs.rs/salvo/latest/salvo/) web frameworks.
+
+Make sure you have Rust and Cargo installed, and then create a new project:
+
+```shell
+cargo new --bin demo
+cd demo
+```
+
+Add `dioxus` and `dioxus-server` as dependencies:
+
+```shell
+cargo add dioxus
+cargo add dioxus-server --features axum, ssr
+```
+
+Next, add all the Axum dependencies. This will be different if you're using a different Web Framework
+
+```shell
+cargo add tokio --features full
+cargo add axum
+```
+
+Your dependencies should look roughly like this:
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+axum = "*"
+dioxus = { version = "*" }
+dioxus-server = { version = "*", features = ["axum", "ssr"] }
+tokio = { version = "*", features = ["full"] }
+```
+
+Now, set up your Axum app to serve the Dioxus app.
+
+```rust
+{{#include ../../../examples/server.rs:basic}}
+```
+
+Now, run your app with `cargo run` and open `http://localhost:8080` in your browser. You should see a server-side rendered page with a counter.
+
+## Hydration
+
+Right now, the page is static. We can't interact with the buttons. To fix this, we can hydrate the page with `dioxus-web`.
+
+First, modify your `Cargo.toml` to include two features, one for the server called `ssr`, and one for the client called `web`.
+
+```toml
+[dependencies]
+# Common dependancies
+dioxus = { version = "*" }
+dioxus-server = { version = "*" }
+
+# Web dependancies
+dioxus-web = { version = "*", features=["hydrate"], optional = true }
+
+# Server dependancies
+axum = { version = "0.6.12", optional = true }
+tokio = { version = "1.27.0", features = ["full"], optional = true }
+
+[features]
+default = []
+ssr = ["axum", "tokio", "dioxus-server/axum"]
+web = ["dioxus-web"]
+```
+
+Next, we need to modify our `main.rs` to use either hydrate on the client or render on the server depending on the active features.
+
+```rust
+{{#include ../../../examples/server.rs:hydration}}
+```
+
+Now, build your client-side bundle with `dioxus build --features web` and run your server with `cargo run --features ssr`. You should see the same page as before, but now you can interact with the buttons!
+
+## Communicating with the server
+
+`dixous-server` provides server functions that allow you to call an automatically generated API on the server from the client as if it were a local function.
+
+To make a server function, simply add the `#[server(YourUniqueType)]` attribute to a function. The function must:
+
+- Be an async function
+- Have arguments and a return type that both implement serialize and deserialize (with [serde](https://serde.rs/)).
+- Return a `Result` with an error type of ServerFnError
+
+You must call `register` on the type you passed into the server macro in your main function before starting your server to tell Dioxus about the server function.
+
+Let's add a server function to our app that allows us to multiply the count by a number on the server.
+
+First, add serde as a dependency:
+
+```shell
+cargo add serde
+```
+
+Next, add the server function to your `main.rs`:
+
+```rust
+{{#include ../../../examples/server.rs:server_function}}
+```
+
+Now, build your client-side bundle with `dioxus build --features web` and run your server with `cargo run --features ssr`. You should see a new button that multiplies the count by 2.
+
+## Conclusion
+
+That's it! You've created a full-stack Dioxus app. You can find more examples of full-stack apps and information about how to integrate with other frameworks and desktop renderers in the [dioxus-server examples directory](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/dioxus/tree/master/packages/server/examples).

 For the web renderer, you can use the dioxus cli to serve your application with hot reloading enabled.
 
 ## Setup

 Install [dioxus-cli](https://github.com/DioxusLabs/cli).
 Hot reloading is automatically enabled when using the web renderer on debug builds.
 
 ## Usage

 1. Run:

 dioxus serve --hot-reload

 # Limitations
+
 1. The interpreter can only use expressions that existed on the last full recompile. If you introduce a new variable or expression to the rsx call, it will require a full recompile to capture the expression.
 2. Components, Iterators, and some attributes can contain arbitrary rust code and will trigger a full recompile when changed.
