Rethink Full-Stack Development: Is a Custom Backend the Best Choice?
This article covers the conventional way of building full-stack applications and why manually building your backend is not always the best choice. You’ll see an alternative solution for your backend needs that can be used standalone or coupled with your custom-built backend.

Building and maintaining a complex backend from scratch would take substantial resources. So why reinvent the wheel when you can use an existing solution that you can tailor to your needs with code? But more on that later.
It’s important to mention that a custom-built backend might be the most appropriate solution in specific scenarios. However, in most cases, an existing solution that you can tailor to your needs through code is more than sufficient. It allows you to speed up the development process and move faster by automating the most tedious work. It also frees up resources so you can focus on business-critical tasks. Besides that…
