Sharing is caring is a cliche but not when is comes to webapps.
Isomorphic web applications are becoming popular and accepted methodology by many in the Game. in dictionary terms, it means something of the corresponding or similar form or relations.
Hmm… wth! I know…
what is isomorphic, though?
isomorphic webapps are when server and client share some common data with each other and thus correspond/relate to each other inorder to deliver quicker, providing better user experience, improved discovery via search engines, and reduced ops since parts of code is shared b/w both parties.
ok great! but should i really care about this?
IT companies like Bloomberg, Netflix, Airbnb, Google, Facebook have accepted isomorphic web application with good reason – better financial outcomes.
There’s been studies around how website’s speed affect revenues made by visitors, i.e. webapp’s latency ∞ conversion rates !
and if my client and server share some data/functionality, i’m probably going to see lower latency. Makes sense, right? isomorphic-go is caring ‘bout your end users as well as your business outcomes.
p.s: this is wip.
