Even if you are talking about SSR such as how Next.js does it, you wouldn't be spanning processes from your ruby/php application. You would deploy it as a separate application responsible of the frontend, using your ruby/php application as a backend service providing an API.

An alternative is to just serve the HTML from your ruby/php and then take over in the frontend, but this is more complex and not worth it in my opinion.

This is still incredibly common for apps that are mostly server rendered but use React/Vue etc "sprinkled" through the codebase for more complex bits of UI.
