I don't think you can altogether avoid the mundane stuff, but you can at least outsource it to a managed host at whatever level of abstraction you're comfortable with, whether that's a simple blog on Wix or WordPress, using managed DBs like Firebase, something that combines a bunch of services like Vercel, or putting them together yourself with Cloudflare products. There's still somebody managing all the scaling and uptime and updates and upgrades (which is a necessity, because the internet and www aren't static entities, like browser vendors forcing https on everyone a few years ago). But the important thing is that someone ELSE takes care of all that for you so you can write business logic for your app, not worry about infra. -------- I work for a headless CMS company, and part of our value prop is that our customers (generally) don't have to maintain their own backends, just a frontend. That's still a lot of work to keep up with npm and browser updates though. Some of our competitors are working towards first party frontends and widgets too, becoming full stack hosted CRUD composables. There are also others, like MUI, working towards headless frontends that can be easily attached to any backend.
