AOT compilation and build optimization

- [Instructor] In this video, we're going to discuss two important techniques for improving the performance of your angular applications ahead of time compilations and build optimization. These two methods are essential for reducing the size of your app's JavaScript bundles, improving load times and ensuring that your app performs well in production environments. By default, angular applications are built using just-in-time compilation during development. But for production builds, we want to switch to AOT for improved performance. What is AOT compilation? It's called ahead of time compilation, and it is a process where angular compiles your HTML templates and TypeScript code during the build process rather than in the browser at runtime. This means that angular processes your app's components and templates into JavaScript code before the browser loads your app, reducing the work the browser needs to do. So here's why AOT matters. The first one is faster rendering. The browser doesn't…
