> I would say it is more about having stateful client applications that implement some kind of client side model view controller and uses some kind of remote API vs. the traditional server applications that generated HTML views. Hm, no, sorry, I complete disagree. TFA is complaining about some choice. It is indeed related to the frontend. Then goes on to complain about project structure, databases, API design patterns/technology, authentication, scheduled jobs (really?), email templates (just trolling at this point) and Websockets. What? Sorry. No. This article isn’t about stateful client applications. Or client applications. It isn’t even about server-side rendering. It is about backend (and its backend), and nothing but. SPAs are not backend. TFA most certainly isn’t about about server-side JavaScript. It’s only about “serverless”. Whatever that may be.
