A lot of thoughts — Most businesses are not running a SPA which only makes a database call. Most infrastructure I’ve seen is not web-facing. Managing this from a consistent place reduces operations overhead. The idea that you’re SSRing everything instead of making a few API calls is strange to me. Most businesses in the top 1000 will have optimized for caching when at all possible. They’re also not paying sticker price to CDNs. Offloading works to CDNs comes with inherent operational benefit. This all seems great until you have your infra fail. Stories of unrecoverable outages abound. Even if you run in this architecture, you should always always always be using an external party for backup and log retention. More of the above… this doesn’t interact well with the real world, but everything old is new again and many new CTOs /founding engineers haven’t seen how infra breaks and how operations impact throughput.
