Frontend Architecture: Myth, Diagram, or a Living System? A Large E-commerce Migration Case Study [ukr]
Many consider frontend architecture to be a meme. And honestly, there are reasons for that. But we build it anyway — on a real product, in a real migration. This talk is about how we're moving a large e-commerce platform from a Clojure monolith to a separate frontend: thin client approach, React as a UI library, and Next.js as a system detail — not the core. How well it actually works, where reality diverges from diagrams and initial plans. No canonical recipes — just real experience from a live product.
