Building a modern application

There are a few things to consider when building modern applications:

• User Interface - how users will consume and interact with the application
• Routing - how users navigate between different parts of the application
• Data Fetching - where the data lives and how to get it
• Rendering - when and where to render static or dynamic content
• Integrations - what third-party services to use (CMS, auth, payments, etc) and how to connect to them
• Infrastructure - where to deploy, store, and run the application code (Serverless, CDN, Edge, etc)
• Performance - how to optimize the application for end-users
• Scalability - how the application adapts as the team, data, and traffic grow
• Developer Experience - the team’s experience building and maintaining the application

For each part of the application, the developers need to decide whether to build a solution themselves or use other tools such as libraries and frameworks.
