— Then, if the python backend is more expensive, they will be scaled independently of the nodejs frontend
Or the opposite, if the nodejs handles a lot of requests, and the backend less, it will be scaled independently
— That's a practical example focused on distributed systems
— Why should i write in two languages? maybe i dont know JS good enough to make a backend.. so i make it PHP, but the API to the web backend is already universal, right. there is AJAX or maybe i will try fetch
— Yes it is, but what about devops?
— And how about to test it easily in your laptop?
— You cannot test your cluster as easy as with metacall
— You can use it without interconnecting languages too
— Just as a normal FaaS
— But without third party code
— The same functions of nodejs can be exported easily
— Another benefit is the scalability
