Session
In an era of complicated frontend architectures, we took a different approach in a web application: Embracing web standards, server-rendered HTML, and minimal JavaScript. We managed to build a robust, user-friendly interface using "boring" but powerful web technologies. Our approach without a system of distributed microservices broke traditional silos and enabled developers to own full-stack features and with that accelerated prototyping.
In our talk you will learn about our experiences along the way and how returning to core web principles and working with a design engineering mindset can create more maintainable, performant and user-centric interfaces.
