9 Must Decisions in Web Application Development

submitted 4 years ago by hasanraza to demcra, updated 4 years ago

Web application development (see: goodcore.co.uk/services/web-app-development/) in 2020 is not getting any closer to a consensus. If anything, we have more technologies to choose from and as much controversy as ever. I guess this is good news for us developers since we can afford to have specialties and get paid extra for our respective narrow fields. In almost all decisions, all the choices are pretty good. That means you won’t make a terrible mistake by choosing the one over the other. On the other hand, by choosing one you’re usually stuck with them. Suppose you chose to go with AWS and then decided to move to Azure. That’s not going to be that easy.

There were a lot more "Must" decisions I wanted to include like Error Monitoring, Application Performance Management tools, ORMs, Mobile support + PWAs, and Localization. Then, there are a bunch of client-side decisions like free or paid UI Controls, bundlers, linters, and so on. This article got a little bigger than I planned, so I’ll leave those to another post. Thanks for reading, Cheers.
