Is the web fundamentally a server-client mechanism? It didn't used to be that as much, back in the early days. But now it seems almost impossible to imagine building web applications without the cloud. Yes, we briefly entertained the "serverless" revolution, but now we're swinging the pendulum quickly back to server-based rendering and thin(ner) web clients. Yet, with all the great benefits servers (cloud, edge, etc) have brought us, they're also the gateway to the web's worst evils. Can the web survive going this way? Should we be pushing for a different future for the web, one where servers play a diminishing role? Let's take a look and see what's emerging.
