@jakelazaroff but at least that’s not incidental complexity!

@mb21 standard "it depends" caveat but better architectures are possible 😄 vc-backed saas has given us a poverty of imagination

@jakelazaroff i haven't found this to be true. our legacy Nest.JS + React + GraphQL apps are significantly more complex and fragile than our SQL queries. i think a lot of it comes down to the amount of moving parts that an app is built on top of

@gianni i think if you're using a server-side database then a lot of the complexity you're experiencing with e.g. nestjs and graphql is actually a result of that architectural decision

what’s the alternative to a server-side db if storing something in localStorage is not durable enough?

@mb21 You’re spoilt for choice when in comes to server side DBs. What’s the use case?
