What else should you use for huge complex web apps?

order

Keep the huge, complex business logic on the server whenever possible.

That doesn't work for webapps that are effectively entirely based on client side reactivity like Figma, though the list of projects that need to work like that is extremely low. Even for those style of apps I do wonder how far something like Phoenix LiveView might go towards the end goal.

I think that there are more apps that are better off as web apps (cross platform and sandboxed) than not.
