Interesting the article jumps straight from REST to GraphQL and forgets Falcor[0] - Netflix's alternative vision for federated services. For a while it looked like it might be a contender to GraphQL but it never really seemed to take off despite being simpler to adopt.

I pushed for Falcor over GraphQL in 2016. I still think Falcor was a more elegant core idea, but the implementation, tooling, and community never materialized like it did with GraphQL, and now Falcor is relatively niche and obscure. Netflix wasn't willing or able to promote it like Facebook did with GraphQL. That was beginning to be apparent in 2016, but I liked the concept too much. Source: almost 5 years ago
Netflix has two amazing aspects I think. One is obviously the movie infrastructure and the other the way they do data and state management. I would read up on https://netflix.github.io/falcor to get an idea what is involved here.to be honest I dont get the point of rebuilding the visual aspects of their web app, that part is trivial and also completely useless without the parts that matter.

I wanted neither, so I built render-useful-mcp: an MCP server for Render where every API tool is generated from Render's own OpenAPI document. All 207 endpoints, no curation. - Source: dev.to / 17 days ago
Render offers a free web service tier for Node applications, with 512 MB of memory and 0.1 CPU, that spins down after 15 minutes of inactivity and cold-starts on the next request. Deploys are Git-driven, native runtimes handle most Node versions without a Dockerfile, one-click rollback works on all tiers, and preview environments are available with their own resource billing. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
Render is the closest structural match to Heroku on this list. It's built around web services, background workers, static sites, cron jobs, and managed Postgres and Redis, which maps almost one-to-one onto a Procfile plus Heroku add-ons. Buildpack-style auto-detection handles most language runtimes without a Dockerfile, and preview environments and one-click rollback exist out of the box. - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
The other limitation is compute. Vercel Functions can handle APIs, server-rendered routes, streaming, and other request-driven tasks, and the current function limits are far more generous. But if your application requires a continuously running background process or custom Docker containers, Vercel isn't the right fit. There are platforms like Render or Northflank that are built for that kind of workload. Vercel... - Source: dev.to / about 1 month ago
A host: A host is really just a computer that stays powered on and connected to the internet with a public address of its own. When a visitor types in the app's address, their browser sends a request across the internet to that machine, the machine runs the code, and it sends the finished page back. A laptop was quietly doing both jobs during the build, the server and the only visitor allowed in; a host is that... - Source: dev.to / about 2 months ago
GraphQL - GraphQL is a data query language and runtime to request and deliver data to mobile and web apps.
Fly.io - Edge computing is the new frontier.
FastAPI - FastAPI is an Open Source, modern, fast (high-performance), web framework for building APIs with Python 3.6+ based on standard Python type hints.
Railway - Made for any language, for projects big and small.
OData - OData, short for Open Data Protocol, is an open protocol to allow the creation and consumption of queryable and interoperable RESTful APIs in a simple and standard way.
