Introduction Let’s recap the web’s evolution so far: Part 1: The backend ruled — it rendered pages, handled routing, and managed all logic. Part 2: AJAX and jQuery entered, letting us update parts of the page without reloads. Part 3: SPAs took over — shifting routing, validation, and rendering to the frontend. The JavaScript ecosystem exploded with complexity. Now in Part 4, we’re witnessing a new shift: A return to server-first thinking, progressive enhancement, and leaner web architecture — not by going backward, but by merging the best of both worlds. We’re building apps that are fast, interactive, and SEO-friendly — without overloading the browser. SPAs solved real pain points: smooth routing, rich interactivity, app-like behavior. But they came at a cost: Every h…  ( 9 min )

Before SPAs, before frameworks — the web was simple, yet powerful. Let’s rewind. In this 4-part series, I’ll explore how the web has evolved — where it began, what changed, and where it's heading next. This first part takes us to the very beginning: how the web originally worked. The earliest versions of the web were built using a few core technologies: HTTP for communication HTML for structure CSS for styling JavaScript for light interactivity But the two most essential building blocks were: (anchor) tags for navigation elements for interaction That’s it. No client-side routing, no hydration, no JavaScript rendering. Everything was powered by server responses. Web apps in this era followed a simple cycle: All application data was stored in a database (like MySQL, PostgreSQL)…  ( 8 min )

Introduction In the first part of this series, we looked at the early web — a world of full-page reloads, where servers did most of the heavy lifting: from routing and rendering to data handling and UI feedback. But then something changed. A new technique emerged that allowed web pages to update without refreshing the entire page. This wasn't a new programming language. It was a new approach, and it reshaped how users interacted with the web. This is where AJAX enters the story. AJAX stands for Asynchronous JavaScript and XML. But don't let the name fool you — it's not limited to XML, and it's not a library or framework. It’s a combination of technologies: JavaScript (to make the request) XMLHttpRequest (the API, now replaced by **fetch**) The browser’s ability to update specific p…  ( 8 min )

Introduction In the previous article, we saw how AJAX and jQuery transformed the web from a static, request-response model into something far more dynamic and interactive. But as applications became more complex, the patchwork of jQuery plugins, imperative DOM manipulation, and scattered logic began to collapse under its own weight. We needed more than snippets — we needed structure. And that’s when Single Page Applications (SPAs) emerged. A Single Page Application is a web app that: Loads a single HTML page initially Uses JavaScript to manage routing, rendering, and data updates Interacts with the server via APIs (typically JSON over HTTP) Avoids full-page reloads entirely In SPAs, the browser becomes the runtime — not just the display layer. Here’s how responsibilities changed …  ( 9 min )

Why you need a load balancer Imagine your website suddenly becomes popular. Hundreds or thousands of users are visiting at the same time. If all of them land on one server, that server will slow down, maybe even crash. The natural solution is to run more than one server — maybe two, three, or ten — and spread the traffic between them. The missing piece is a “traffic director” that decides who goes where. That’s what a load balancer is: it makes sure no single server carries all the weight. There are several ways to share traffic. Each approach works differently and comes with its own pros and cons: How it works: All traffic first goes through one main server — the reverse proxy. It accepts every request and forwards it to another backend server. This can be done at the transport layer …  ( 10 min )

What is SSAI? Server-Side Ad Insertion (SSAI) is a technology where ads are stitched directly into the video stream on the server before it reaches the viewer’s device. With SSAI, the video player receives a single, continuous stream that includes both the main content and the ads, making the transitions between them seamless. This article covers how to integrate MediaTailor SSAI with your video player and covers all the frontend aspects. For this, I will be using example of video.js. A glimpse about video.js :- ✨ Bonus: Includes a custom plugin that facilitates ad markers, an ad counter with a countdown timer, and beaconing. For more insights into backend integration, check out this article, which dives deep into the server aspects of SSAI." Here are the steps required to set up AWS Med…  ( 9 min )

AI is evolving at a rapid pace, and one of the most exciting frontiers in this transformation is the rise of autonomous AI agents. These intelligent systems go beyond chatbots or traditional AI models—they reason, make decisions, and automate tasks. But how do you, as a developer, tap into this future? In this article, we'll explore how to build AI agents that work autonomously using cutting-edge tools like LangChain, LangFlow, and GPT-4, and why mastering this technology will position you ahead of the curve. Traditional AI models, such as chatbots or personal assistants, operate passively—they respond to prompts without taking initiative. AI agents, on the other hand, are proactive. They can plan, reason, and act on their own, pulling in external tools and even interacting with other agen…  ( 8 min )

Building solitairex.io with PixiJS — and how a tiny ticker change fixed our PageSpeed score When we launched solitaire online, we wanted buttery‑smooth animations and green Core Web Vitals. Our first build looked and felt great, but Google PageSpeed Insights wasn’t impressed. The culprit was subtle: our render loop (PixiJS’s ticker) was running from the moment the page loaded—even before the user interacted. That constant requestAnimationFrame work (even while idle) inflated CPU usage in Lighthouse’s lab run and dragged down metrics. The fix was a one‑liner conceptually: don’t start the ticker until the user interacts. Below is how our PixiJS app is set up, why PixiJS was the right choice for a web card game, and how we wired the ticker to “start on first click/touch/key” to keep PageSpe…  ( 10 min )

Building a Laravel API that stays true to domain-driven design (DDD) and clean architecture can feel like a juggling act. Between keeping the domain pure, offering a friendly HTTP layer, and wiring infrastructure concerns, the implementation tends to go sideways fast. This walkthrough captures how we delivered a new Inventory Item feature (register + fetch) on Laravel 12/PHP 8.4 with: four layered architecture (Domain → Application → Infrastructure → Interfaces/Http), Sanctum-protected endpoints and policies, write idempotency and rate limiting, eager‑loading friendly repositories (no Model::all()), Pest-powered unit + feature tests.
