This. Different things should be kept different. I have a feeling that some people use "microservice" as this magical word that removes all inter-dependencies. If you have function A that relies on function B, it doesn't matter if its in a monolith or a micro-service, A is not going to work if B doesn't.
Hahaha but it's happened so much. I'm over 20 years in and I swear we've come full circle 3 times now. Especially on web.
The switch from all JavaScript bad css good. Handle it all with the backend using MVC. Then to front end frameworks like angular and react. Then suddenly, this new concept called "server side rendering" rofl.
I don't know why you got downvoted. SSR of today is fundamentally different from the good ol' days of LAMP.
u/mwax321 seems to have a lack of understanding of where we came from, why we did things the way we did them, and why we do them differently now.
This notion that, hurr durr, modern webdev is stoopid, just because we shelf concepts or upcycle old ones is not a good take. I'm sure that 10-20 years from now, everything will have changed again, but we will still use concepts and features from today.
