So it works exactly like every other social media app, but made in… China?

Typically, you just have a session cookie, and that doesn’t even need to be part of the app as auth can be handled by a separate proxy. The server just provides dumb data pull operations to the client in this setup, with all the session state living clientside.

With the SPA approach, you can have remarkably little state on the server because all the state associated with the user session lives on the frontend. The value of doing this obviously depends on the type application you’re making, but it can be a sensible approach in some cases.

Nobody is arguing for overcomplicating things, and it’s true that a lot of projects out there are in fact overdesigned. However, there are also non-trivial applications out there, and front-end can in fact be complex in such apps. For example, I worked at a hospital at one point, and my team built an application that allowed multiple users to work collaboratively on shared documents seeing each other’s changes in real time. That’s a kind of app that is non-trivial, and where there’s plenty of legitimate complexity to be found both on the frontedn and the backend.

I mean… the database does all the shit itself, just give it some SQL queries. It’s incredibly important to realize that nearly all this complexity is optional - it may make sense for Facebook to invest this much in their backend infrastructure but most companies could get away with plain ol’ script that on top of Postgres.

As a backend developer you should know when things like load balancing and and complex db schemas add little value, a single table is good enough. Maintaining complex systems costs money and developers should always advocate for the simplest most sustainable solution to a problem. I think we have a real issue with pursuing shiny new technologies.

The complexity of dealing with different states a UI can be in. The user can navigate the interface of an app in many different ways. The US has to be able to handle all the different combinations of actions the users takes. This means maintaining a consistent state, loading data that’s needed, keeping track of navigation, etc. The logic in an interface of an app like an email client is far more complex than most backend workflows.
