The really interesting thing about this article recommending flat html + js for hosting... is that it is written by the original co-author of Django. Yes, each tool has the right place etc, but still interesting nonetheless.
- qsort 1y agoAm I missing something or is this entirely unrelated? Django is server-side technology. This is discussing a delivery mechanism for simple client-side software, not a full blown webapp that interacts with a database. You would need to supplement this with something like AWS Lambda or Cloudflare Workers, but that's a big step up in complexity from what's being discussed.
- Daviey 1y agoNope, you aren't missing something. As I said, each tool has its job. My first experience with Django was writing a small blog, which is now better served with the likes of Hugo. I am sure I am not the only one that has made a similar journey.
- zahlman 1y agoIt's "unrelated", but the funny part is that all of that "full blown webapp that interacts with a database" complexity is being (perhaps not so explicitly) shunned and deemed unnecessary.
