A classic paper with a dream that has yet to be realized. We continue to bolt state on top of state. Redux bolted on top of GraphQL on top of Redis on top of Postgres. We can do better.

It continues to be such a sad state of affairs. We are constantly reinventing and repackaging well known bad practices.

I recall getting publicly lambasted on here for daring to question the wisdom of an ActiveRecord-like data layer for a front-end SPA framework.

  • Oh right, I forgot the ORM with "distributed caching" needed between the database and GraphQL layers. More hidden state.
