The two biggest wrenches that get thrown into a backend system and blow up complexity in my experience:
- 100x in growth, aka scaling.
- Needing to set up reporting data pipelines. Metrics, auditing, 3rd party uses.
Does the frontend need to worry about either of these? Maybe for scaling, they need to do some CDN work, or is that still the backend developer's job?
- chinabot 4y agoScaling is over-rated and over-sold to most businesses who generally have predictable, stable or no growth over their lifetimes and then see their new system running at 1% capacity for its lifetime.
- 1270018080 4y agoI agree. But I've worked at startups and it's been a real issue that comes up when the business really starts to grow.
