CHAPTER

Separating Product Decisions from Technical Decisions

This chapter emphasizes the importance of decoupling product-oriented decisions from technical choices, specifically focusing on aligning back-end types with front-end types independently of product considerations. It explores the benefits and challenges of using GraphQL for front-end development, highlighting how it enables developers to specify data needs in queries but may introduce complexity and performance issues. The chapter also discusses the concept of server components in React 19, explaining how they handle requests and data exclusively on the server to streamline data management in tech stacks.
