Thank you, Giovanni! > For me, choosing a 1-tier architecture
Actually, we still need kinda reverse proxy in front, mostly to have gzipped answers (and, optionally, prepend Cache-control headers). Without js rewrites I had to use Apache or node to avoid web server recompilation on rules change. Now I can use nginx since rule list is stable and I need to compile nginx only once don‘t bothering about internal routing rules. > by choosing extreme ease of > development(in-browser development, same javascript language for frontend > and backend) I still don‘t think couchapps are easy in common sense, mostly because technologies are limiting and concepts are off mainstream. However, I admit now that couchapp concept is less limiting than I thought a year ago ) ermouth 2016-09-05 11:28 GMT+03:00 Giovanni Lenzi <g.le...@smileupps.com>: > Great job ermouth, you are always on the front line on pushing couchapp > borders! > > JS rewrites seems to really enable them to any kind of use.
