Frontend Development Challenges for 2021Category: Business, Data, Kubernetes
In my 2021 web development predictions, I identified two key trends heading into this year: serverless expanding into a more full-featured platform (for example, stateful apps becoming a reality on serverless), and the continued growth of JavaScript (and especially React). To discuss these and other frontend trends, I spoke to David Cramer, co-founder and chief technology officer of developer tools provider Sentry, an application monitoring platform.
I think the challenge we have in JavaScript — it used to be, you’ve got a JavaScript application, it’s probably animations and some fancy loading stuff, and if there was an error, maybe it didn’t impact you.
The browser vendors have to take responsibility for this — just like they have for ad blockers and all these other toolchains that have existed in there. If you want to support this kind of thing [advanced JavaScript] in the ecosystem, you need a platform that makes it easier to support.
