"This is why single-page applications have grown in such favor over the past few years; they allow quick agility at the UI layer without the need for API changes."
I haven't seen anyone else comment on this sentence, but I'm baffled by it. The first and second parts don't seem in any way connected, nor at all in keeping with my experience of building SPAs - the UI layer is often intricately complicated and every bit as hard to iterate on as an API!
- shangxiao 11y agoNot only that but I've found SPAs to be more complex than their traditional counterparts, mainly due factors like: the extra layers & complexity involved, churn rate of & lack of maturity in JavaScript frameworks, lack of integration with backend of choice. Of course there are advantages to SPAs and this generally is my choice of architecture, however I definitely wouldn't say that SPAs are more agile at all.
