Limitations of a local full-stack application
Building and running a full-stack application locally is a great way to learn and prototype software in a controlled environment. However, it comes with its own set of limitations that can hinder scalability, accessibility, and overall functionality of the application. One of the most significant limitations of a locally running full-stack application is its accessibility. Since the application is hosted on a local machine, it's only accessible from that specific machine or network. This can make collaboration difficult, as other team members or users can't easily access the application without complex network configurations, such as port forwarding or VPNs. A locally running application is also constrained by the resources of the machine it's hosted on. This includes processing power, memory, and storage. As the application grows in complexity or as the number of users increases, the local environment may struggle to handle the load, leading to slower performance. Running a…
