PostgreSQL & NodeJs as Core Feature of Backend for Frontend
summary
Claims PostgreSQL can serve as the data engine for modern SSR and a BFF layer, using Node.js + Next.js for direct DB queries and NestJS for heavy business logic; examples include using getServerSideProps and getStaticProps with pg pool connections, and ISR with revalidate=30s. Cited adoption: Node.js ~40% of developers (2024) and Next.js >100k GitHub stars. Pattern offloads transcoding to worker threads, reduces API hops, and removes initial loading spinners.
