Problem Statement
How do you use getServerSideProps and what data does it receive in its context parameter?
Explanation
You export an async function called getServerSideProps from a page component that receives a context object containing params for dynamic route parameters, query for URL query strings, req and res for the HTTP request and response objects, and other properties like resolvedUrl and locale. The function must return an object with props that will be passed to the page component, and you can return notFound true to show a 404 page or redirect object to redirect users to another page. Access cookies, headers, and authentication information through the request object, fetch data from databases or APIs using server-side credentials, and perform any server-side logic before rendering, but remember this runs on every request so expensive operations impact performance.
