From my point of view SPA and solid backend APIs go hand in hand. I see the main reason to use a SPA is to decouple front- and backend.
Doing so allows you choose a new frontend after some years while keeping the backend - or rewriting performance critical backend code while reusing the frontend.
Do you think the SPA-ish look and feel really is the key? That would surprise me.
It is more of an architectural design choice to me.
- ec109685 9y agoYour front end web server can call your backend API, so you can decouple without it being SPA.
- Scarbutt 9y agoCorrect, but its arguable which will be more work, with a front end server and backend API you are still writing two applications, and most probably, you still need to sprinkle some JS for UX enhancement.
