CMS (Content Management System)
- Used to publish similar types of contents, like blog posts easily
- Modern architectures can decouple frontend and backend, creating headless CMSs
- eg: Wordpress.org, Joomla, Drupal, Magento, Squarespace, Wix, Zoho, Ghost
CDN (Content Delivery Network)
- Used to deliver cached content with low latency to wider locations
- Can reduce server load by spreading traffic across CDN servers
- eg: Cloudflare
CRM (Customer Relationship Management)
- eg: Bittrix24 (also has CMS)
Web Architectures
By chronology of trend:
- Fully Static - HTML, CSS, Web Server
- Dynamic - Frontend + Backend
- Single Page Application - HTML, CSS are generated dynamically on client side
- JAMStack - JavaScript, API, Markup: Basically decoupling frontend and backend
By functional categorization: SSR: Server side rendering, CSR: Client side rendering SPA: Single-page application, MPA: Multi-Page application
- SSR MPA - Fullstack (e.g. Django, Wordpress)
- SSR SPA - Server pre-rendered content from the server
- CSR SPA - Has a client side router for navigation. e.g: React
- CSR MPA - Has no client side router. e.g: JAMStack
