Known technologies

To be able to choose the technology, the implementators communicated and agreed upon the set of technologies known to them both.

Technology choice

We could go for a static Single Page Application and a REST API, or a mixed frontend and backend in single server. There are important questions that had to have been asked:

1. Whether to use a frontend framework?

The implementators group came to the conclusion that using a frontend framework would benefit their productivity. Yes.

2. If so which?

The choice was made from the following frontend frameworks / compilers:

• React
  • Next.js
  • Gatsby
• Vue
  • Nuxt.js
• Svelte
  • Sapper
  • SvelteKit

The implementators agreed upon a set of known to them frontend frameworks and decided upon React.

3. If so should the frontend and backend be merged (PHP-style)?

The implementators decided that using the Next.js React framework that allows for writing frontend and backend JavaScript side by side, would allow them to be the most productive in a short amount of time. Yes.

4. If the frontend and backend should be separate, which technology to use for the backend?

N/A

Deployment
