Bug: correction needed for Frontend and Backend technology classification in Microservices section #90

In the provided documentation under the "Development" section of the Pre-Production phase (Microservice architecture), there appears to be a misunderstanding in classifying frontend and backend technologies. Specifically, it incorrectly lists "Node.js or React" as popular choices for frontend development. This needs correction to accurately reflect common practices and technology use in microservices architecture.

Detailed Analysis:

  1. Incorrect Classification:

    • Node.js is a runtime environment that is primarily used for backend development. It allows developers to use JavaScript to write server-side code, making it popular for building scalable and efficient backend services in microservices architecture.
    • React is a JavaScript library used for building user interfaces (frontend). React is not typically used for backend development.
  2. Correct Classification:

    • Frontend Development:
      • Technologies commonly used: React.js, Angular, Vue.js.
      • Purpose: Building the user interface and client-side logic.
    • Backend Development:
      • Technologies commonly used: Node.js, Java, Python, Go, .NET.
      • Purpose: Handling server-side logic, database interactions, and API endpoints.

Suggested Changes:

The corrected text should accurately separate frontend and backend technologies, reflecting their actual use cases in microservices development.

Proposed Revision:

Development - For frontend development, popular technologies include React.js, Angular, and Vue.js. For backend development, common choices are Node.js, Java, Python, Go, and .NET. Additionally, configurations in the API gateway need to be updated according to the API definitions.
