I switched companies sometime ago. The first place was a rails shop and I loved rails. But then I switched to a shop that uses hasura + netlify and I just can’t see a reason why to never use this pair for CRUD apps.
I imagine we will see more frameworks based around east deployment of serverless functions and edge compute for backend tasks. I think the frontend side is being to mature and react/others are here to stay for a long while. But I’d like to hear thoughts from more experienced people.
Monolithic apps. No frameworks, no package managers. Everything is provided by the house.
Monolithic apps. Monolithic frameworks. Libraries via package managers. Almost everything is provided by the house, but now we rely on a bunch of dependencies.
Microservices. Different frameworks for each part (frontend, backend, databases). We still keep stuff on our domain. No serverless yet, but we start to keep stuff out of the house. Dependencies on CDNs.
Microservices. Serverless, lambdas. We start to put everything on the hands of others.
Here. We go back to point 1.
Lots of decades-old COBOL code still runs enterprise businesses. Something like 75% of all public web sites were written in PHP, dismissed as obsolete for years. So in a sense everything developers use at all is here to stay for a long while, because the cost and risk of replacing it every few months is too high, and programmers hate maintaining legacy code.
After enough time in the development business you figure out that we mostly reinvent the same flat tire over and over.
That's a pretty big statement. You seriously haven't ran across any drawbacks/limitations whatsoever? None? I'd be a bit more suspicious if I were you.
