Deconstructing Web frameworks for a more resilient code base
summary
Deconstructs frameworks into concrete layers (component system, DOM manipulation, CSS isolation, router, state, SSR) and shows a live migration: a seven‑year dashboard moves a settings form to web components using a small Lit-like library, documented in Storybook, emitting plain events for state and keeping the legacy router; outcome: isolated, replaceable components that avoid big‑bang rewrites but still suffer no server-side rendering out of the box.
