Seeking guidance for a cross-browser web app on Windows and Linux. Considering a JQuery front end paired with Java and C# MVC servers. Is this design practical, or are there better alternatives?
The design is workable in principle, but from my experience a few points warrant consideration. A JQuery front end can become harder to maintain as application complexity grows, particularly with multiple backend technologies like Java and C#. An alternative is to adopt a more modern framework, which may offer better state management and easier integration via a REST API. In one project, switching to a unified front-end framework and consolidating services into a single backend improved maintainability and performance significantly.
