Content served through coupled front-end rendering layer

The Coupled front-end rendering Architecture – By Acquia CMS

Coupled front-end rendering layer refers to a web architecture in which the front-end rendering layer, which is responsible for rendering the content of a web page, is tightly coupled with the back-end application layer, which provides the data and business logic for the application. In this architecture, the front-end rendering layer is often implemented using a JavaScript framework such as React or Angular, and communicates with the back-end application layer through APIs.

Content served through a coupled front-end rendering layer means that the content of a web page is generated by the front-end rendering layer and is directly dependent on the data provided by the back-end application layer. This approach can provide a number of benefits, including improved performance and a more responsive user interface.

Here are some key features of Content served through coupled Front-end rendering,

  • Improved performance: Because the front-end rendering layer can fetch only the data it needs from the back-end application layer, rather than retrieving the entire page with all its content, it can lead to faster load times and a more efficient use of network resources.
  • Responsive user interface: The front-end rendering layer is responsible for updating the content of the page in response to user actions, which can make the application feel more responsive and interactive.
  • Decoupled development: Front-end and back-end developers can work independently, as long as they agree on the data contract between them.
  • Modular codebase: With the separation of concerns between the front-end and back-end, the codebase can be divided into smaller, more manageable modules.
  • Easier maintenance: With a modular codebase, maintenance and updates can be made more easily without affecting other parts of the application.
  • Ability to leverage client-side technology: The front-end rendering layer can leverage client-side technologies such as caching and local storage to improve performance.
  • Limited server overhead: The server is responsible only for handling requests and providing data to the front-end rendering layer, reducing server overhead.

A coupled front-end rendering layer can reduce the amount of data that needs to be transferred between the front-end and back-end layers. The front-end layer is responsible for rendering the content of the page & can fetch only the data it needs from the back-end application layer, rather than retrieving the entire page with all its content. Leading to faster load times and to an efficient use of network resources.

This provides seamless user-experience making the application feel more responsive and interactive, leading to increased user engagement.

There are several benefits of Coupled front-end rendering, including:

Improved performance: Coupled front-end rendering can lead to faster load times and a more efficient use of network resources. By fetching, only the data needed to render a particular view or page, the front-end layer can reduce the amount of data transferred between the front-end and back-end, leading to faster load times.

Responsive user interface: Because the front-end rendering layer is responsible for updating the content of the page in response to user actions, it can make the application feel more responsive and interactive. This can lead to increased user engagement and satisfaction.

Decoupled development: Coupled front-end rendering allows front-end and back-end developers to work independently, as long as they agree on the data contract between them. This can lead to faster development cycles and more agile development practices.

Modular codebase: By separating the front-end and back-end concerns, the codebase can be divided into smaller, more manageable modules. This can make the application easier to maintain and update over time.

Leverage client-side technology: The front-end rendering layer can leverage client-side technologies such as caching and local storage to improve performance. This can further reduce the amount of data transferred between the front-end and back-end.

Reduced server overhead: The server is responsible only for handling requests and providing data to the front-end rendering layer, reducing server overhead. This can lead to reduced costs and improved scalability.

Overall, the Coupled Front-end rendering by Acquia CMS can help businesses improve their operations, differentiate themselves from their competitors, and enhance the customer experience, all while creating new revenue streams.

With standout responsiveness, Workiy quickly implemented all requested changes. Their flexibility extended to expanding the scope and absorbing extra costs to deliver much needed features. Customers can expect a committed partner that is dedicated to delivering on all client needs. They’re very transparent and use Teamwork. Throughout the project there were around seven change requests and Workiy handled them well. Ravi and the whole Workiy team goes above and beyond to ensure that the customer gets what they need. When we made our scope expansion request, they absorbed about $5,000 of cost since we didn’t have the funding but truly required the feature.

We have been working with Workiy for the last 18 months and have found them to be a reliable and professional supplier. Their proposed consultants are of high quality and are delivered on time as promised. The company is easy to work with and their customer service is responsive and helpful. Overall, we are satisfied with our experience working with Workiy and would recommend them to others.

Workiy has provided great service to Interior Health. Workiy was able to translate our requirements into a website that met our needs. The site has been well received by the Organization and the site owner is happy with the functionality of the Drupal platform. We continue to work closely with Workiey on enhancing the site and they have been very responsive to our requests. They’ve also been very patient as requirements change. They are an active participant in meetings where requirements are being discussed and they regularly show progress on the tasks that have been assigned.

I’m the content webmaster for www.interiorhealth.ca, a website rebuilt by Workiy. I’m very satisfied with how the website operates. I had worked with WordPress before, and I love how Drupal’s back-end editing function operates in a similar way, yet overall, the platform is more sophisticated in the features you can introduce. I did not need much training to handle many aspects of the site: uploading files, editing and creating new pages, building landing pages, linking pages to the website menu, going directly into pages and inputting keywords to help their searchability, and creating/add visual blocks to pages.
