  • Stateless, no sessions.
  • Any view can be bookmarked.
  • Easily cacheable.
  • Javascript not required.
  • Accessible. Tested with WAVE evaluation tool

Notes

  • Uses Tailwind CSS with PostCSS.
  • CSS will be huge in development.
  • Production build purges unused CSS.

Performance and scalability

  • Pagination avoids large data transfers.
  • Stateless design is easily cacheable by a reverse proxy.
  • Indices not yet added to database (TODO) -- would require benchmarks.
  • Moving to a single page Javascript application could make minor performance improvements -- less data on each request.
