How We Built a Global Low-Latency App Without a Traditional Backend

The article delves into creating a high-performance, globally distributed web application without a conventional backend. It leverages region-local SQLite shards, SvelteKit, Bun, Fly.io, and Litestream to ensure low latency and simplified infrastructure. By eschewing traditional backend systems, the approach not only cuts operating costs but also enhances scalability and reliability. This innovative architecture is a game-changer for developers aiming to build efficient, cost-effective applications that can handle global traffic seamlessly.
