Decentralized Applications vs Server-Based Applications
Developers should learn about dApps when building applications that require high security, transparency, or resistance to censorship, such as in finance (DeFi), gaming, supply chain, or social media meets developers should learn server-based applications for building scalable, secure, and maintainable systems where data and logic need centralized management, such as e-commerce platforms, banking systems, or content management systems. Here's our take.
Decentralized Applications
Developers should learn about dApps when building applications that require high security, transparency, or resistance to censorship, such as in finance (DeFi), gaming, supply chain, or social media
Decentralized Applications
Nice PickDevelopers should learn about dApps when building applications that require high security, transparency, or resistance to censorship, such as in finance (DeFi), gaming, supply chain, or social media
Pros
- +They are essential for creating systems where users retain control over their data and assets, reducing reliance on central authorities
- +Related to: blockchain, smart-contracts
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
Server-Based Applications
Developers should learn server-based applications for building scalable, secure, and maintainable systems where data and logic need centralized management, such as e-commerce platforms, banking systems, or content management systems
Pros
- +It's essential when handling sensitive data, requiring robust backend processing, or supporting multiple client types (e
- +Related to: rest-api, microservices
Cons
- -Specific tradeoffs depend on your use case
The Verdict
Use Decentralized Applications if: You want they are essential for creating systems where users retain control over their data and assets, reducing reliance on central authorities and can live with specific tradeoffs depend on your use case.
Use Server-Based Applications if: You prioritize it's essential when handling sensitive data, requiring robust backend processing, or supporting multiple client types (e over what Decentralized Applications offers.
