Frontend for Backend (FFB) is a development approach that integrates admin panels into web applications to make backend management more efficient and user-friendly. It simplifies the development process for frontend developers and allows for quick and easy adjustments through the frontend.

2024’s Tech Trend: Frontend for Backend

The whole article gives me no concrete hint about ‘the thing’. They call it FFB (Frontend for Backend) but if you follow the link it’s called webcrumbs. Then it’s called the ‘wordpress for node.js’? It’s hard for me to grasp what the guys doing and it feels like buzzwording some artificial trend. Maybe someone can enlighten me.

We’re also conducting a survey to better understand how front-end developers see back-end development. If you’re a front-end developer, you can take the survey here : <a href="https://forms.gle/MTz1yXSjg7S6z1tQ9" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">https://forms.gle/MTz1yXSjg7S6z1tQ9</a>

Well written. Remind me of the frontend cloud statement from <a href="https://vercel.com/resources/the-frontend-cloud-ecosystem" target="_blank" rel="noopener nofollow">Vercel</a>:

As today’s websites shift toward decoupled, composable architectures, businesses are turning to the frontend cloud as the global scaffolding for their applications.”

Isn’t this just Platform architecture with a different name? not trying to be glib, genuinely curious
