Their home page is really a work of art, just beautiful.
Works fine, the NodeJS server simply builds the React page, nothing more. The API does all the heavy lifting of course.
yup, and if you want to really optimize it you could use functions as a service like lambda as your react rendering layer, which forwards to heroku or fargate or beanstalk or vanilla ec2 or whatever for your backend.
and if cloudflare workers ever support metered usage you could use that too for the react layer.
and if you want hyper performance you could use lambda@edge and intelligently route to your backend running on fly.io to minimize the distance. the somewhat unsolved problem there though is multi region master master replicated databases which are cost effective.
to my knowledge this is the current state of the art for that https://docs.aws.amazon.com/AmazonRDS/latest/AuroraUserGuide...
problem is you have to pay for each region so it's not really cost effective.
Yes but we're still going a long way from "just use React". One benefit of the "JS sprinkles" approach of Turbolinks+Stimulus is that you have a far simpler and more productive stack: Rails (or other framework) renders templates with some minimal JS on the frontend, as opposed to the inherent complexity of API + SSR + SPA. There are occasions when React is a good choice of course, but let's not underestimate the costs of the SPA architecture.
hey if stimulus and turbolinks are your jam then rock it!
I would at least give this a look though, it's super easy to use: https://github.com/shakacode/react_on_rails
