Good for small scale unimportant external state management but not for your everyday web app.
- tomwheeler 4y agoIt also degraded performance. I had to use a .NET-based issue tracking web app 20 years ago. The performance was horrible, with pages sometimes taking 20 seconds to load. I eventually viewed the source of the page and discovered a form field called "viewstate" that contained several megabytes of encoded data.
