Story

I'm working on a new project that has a reasonable level of content/processing done on the backend but nothing too heavy. My default approach would be a simple SPA served statically with a CRUD backend, probably fastapi and svelte. However, I've heard lots of people extoll the advantages of more SSR due to better edge compute technologies. Lots of people seem predisposed to throw their backend on cloudflare workers or something and handle it there. What are y'all's experiences between the two?

It seems marginally more convenient for a large team to have a unified front/backend and people seem to like sveltekit, but it doesn't personally bug me to have the two separated. I could also see advantages to typescript/prisma/zod for instance over sqlalchemy and pydantic; pydantic improves python a bit along with mypy/pyright but typing is still very much hacked-in. It also seems like I'd increase my hosting bill a bit, both because SSR shifts work to the server and because workers or similar services generally have markups over a VPS. Thanks :)
