Data-driven software architecture
Posted on October 29, 2020, Level beginner Resource Length short
The web continues to grow and expand in innovative ways. At the same time, few seem to notice that the way web applications are currently built is dragging us ever deeper into technical debt. Software-centric architecture and legacy technologies used to implement it are at odds with the potential of the web. At best they are wildly inefficient, and at worst they are heading us into a software apocalypse. By AtomGraph.
