Thanks, appreciate your views! The client-side environment is a very dynamic thing right now. Its true that the client-side is fragmented but there has been an extreme push for standardization (ES6, et al.) and upgrades of browsers even on low-end android browsers.
On the server side, the most important determinant is perhaps cost which seems to be going against the Moore's law right now! Since the last decade or so, the prices of storage, memory and processors seem to be going up rather than down (or at least not going down in proportion to the Moore's law). If this trend continues, server-side processing will become even more costlier and SPA will rule the future (let the client browsers handle the costly memory and processing stuff!).
Right now, server side processing on AWS/Digital Ocean is seemingly affordable but when it comes to scaling, only the large MNCs like Google, Facebook, Twitter, etc. can do that, not the plebeians like us. The only way for us to scale is to move as much logic to client side as possible. My understanding is that even DEV.to is primarily a client side app?
