Episode notes
Frontend API Integration Challenges
- Frontend frameworks are not equipped to handle complex API integrations effectively.
- Integrating multiple backend services solely in the frontend leads to security risks and complexity.
Frontend Integration Nightmare
- Frontend teams often suffer from complex integrations manifesting as numerous dependent API calls.
- This creates opaque performance issues and makes debugging slow renders or failures very difficult.
Shift Integration to Backend
- Move API integration logic from client to backend API routes to improve security and reduce latency.
- Use backend layers like API routes in Next.js to avoid repeating integration code in multiple clients.
