The Frontend Is a Full Stack

on YouTube ↗40m

" summary

Claim: the frontend is a self-contained full stack that runs UI, view logic, business logic and storage on the client. Evidence: component-based UIs + state patterns (Flux/Redux), GraphQL/Falcor/Relay for query-driven APIs, an actual Falcor demo against a Kuzzle backend that returns exactly requested fields and uses client cache, async/await for synchronous-style fetches, and push toward progressive web apps and HTTP2 to make it practical.
