"Web developers are moving away from the library wars and into a world of architectural choice. It's about where you want the data to live."
"Three competing architectures, more or less, have emerged: reactive frameworks, hypermedia-driven simplicity of true REST, and the decentralized resilience of SQL everywhere."
"Data of course is the central mass of web applications. Where it lives and how it moves produce the gravity around which everything else must revolve."
"Each of these architectures proposes to handle that gravity in its own way, with different benefits and tradeoffs."
Web developers are transitioning from traditional library choices to architectural paradigms that determine data location. Three main architectures are emerging: reactive frameworks, hypermedia-driven applications, and local-first SQL. Reactive frameworks like React dominate, while hypermedia approaches advocate for a true RESTful thin client. The local-first SQL movement suggests integrating SQL directly in the browser. Each architecture offers unique benefits and tradeoffs regarding data management, influencing how web applications are structured and function.
