SPAs, microservices, nosql (Redis), and serverless are all still alive and well, they just aren’t a hammer for all problems like (some) people treated them originally. Nerds getting overexcited about new tech is an old story and it will continue to happen indefinitely as much as we like to smug post about it.
IDK about GraphQL since I’ve not used it but I’ve read lots of stuff recently about frameworks/ORMs working to better support this type of thing more directly/natively.
- BiteCode_dev 4y agoThat's exactly my point.
- dmix 4y agoYour comment sounds a bit dismissive though. They all provide plenty value individually. A lot of this stuff needs to be used IRL for the community to understand the limits and there will always be junior devs and cowboys willing to risk it. Plus not all of it is merely overexcitement/immaturity either, small companies and small dev teams often try to keep their toolsets small and eventually end up pigeonholing stuff into tech that doesn’t fit, until they get time/resources to do it properly. Some things are more obvious in retrospect. The vast majority of the software world is still pretty conservative when you look beyond HN and Twitter.
- simplotek 4y ago> That's exactly my point. In your own, exactly what point did you tried to make? Complaining that x and y technology users joined the "whoops" crowd when those technologies are in fact well established and proved to be effective if not nearly optimal in some applications, what do you perceive as "whoops"? Frankly, it didn't seemed you had a point to make other than parroting cliches.
- roflyear 4y agoGraphql is only awful once you introduce abstractions. By itself it's really a great idea and works well.
