Does kibana uses SSR?

Question

I am new to kibana and I want to know how does kibana generates the visualization on dashboard ?

i.e.

1. Does it uses SSR for generating Graphics/Pie charts etc. ?
2. Does it creates graphs on frontend using libraries like elastic-charts / charts.js /d3.js ?

Answer 1

No ! Kibana charts are generated on frontend using elastic-charts.

They were previously using D3.js for generating charts.
