Summary

The Frontend Cloud is a developer's guide to building future-proofed stacks by automating away behind-the-scenes hassles of creating and growing dynamic websites. It provisions global infrastructure based on existing application code, massively increasing developer velocity, allowing teams to experiment safely and meet shifting market demands. The concept of frontends has grown more complex, and decoupling them from backends offers benefits such as faster scaling, iteration, and better developer and user experiences. Frameworks like Next.js, Nuxt, or SvelteKit offer sensible defaults for underlying code, providing the latest optimizations from tech communities. The Frontend Cloud's true differentiator is automatic infra, which standardizes infrastructure according to framework-defined infrastructure (FdI) powered by serverless architecture, allowing developers to write backend-connecting APIs or access backend data directly from their frontend code.
