Frontend Architectures: The Next Generations
summary
Claims that frontend is shifting from client-first SPAs to server-first, convergent platforms with concrete examples: Next.js 13.4 defaults to server-first components, Astro popularized Island architecture/partial hydration, and Qwik implements resumability and RPC via dynamic ESM imports plus service-worker caching. Server actions (Next alpha) turn annotated functions into POST endpoints so buttons work without JS, shifting data ownership to the server and enabling progressive enhancement; Vercel–Meta collaboration tightens framework/meta-framework coupling and makes opinionated, lower-churn architectures practical.
