Digital Twins, are digital replicas of physical assets, processes, or systems used to simulate, monitor, and optimize their real-world counterparts. Through real-time data exchange and advanced analytics, digital twins provide a virtual environment for testing scenarios, predicting outcomes, and enhancing decision-making.

In previous weeks, I’ve analyzed several libraries and frameworks that augment the client with AJAX capabilities. Vue.jsAlpine.jsHTMXVaadin In this post, I’ll compare them across several axes. Analysis Frontend skills Remember that I started this series from the point of view of a backend developer. In this section, I grade how much you need to know about client technologies to complete the job.

I’ve written a lot about Vaadin. I was so enthusiastic that I wrote the first book about it (besides the Book of Vaadin), its updated edition for Vaadin 7, and a companion website. Still, I’m amazed that so many people in the JVM world never heard of it. In this post, I’d like to introduce Vaadin in the context of AJAX and SSR. Short introduction to Vaadin The beauty of Vaadin lies in its simplicity - you only write backend code. You read that well.

This post is part of a series comparing different ways to implement asynchronous requests on the client to augment the latter. So far, I described the process with Vue.js and Alpine.js. Both are similar from the developers' point of view: they involve JavaScript. In this post, I’ll focus on HTMX, whose approach is quite different. Laying out the work I’ll follow the same structure as in the previous posts of the series. Here’s the setup, server- and client-side.

This post is part of a series comparing different ways to implement asynchronous requests on the client, which is colloquially known as AJAX. I dedicated the previous post to Vue.js; I’ll dedicate this one to Alpine.js - not to be confused with Alpine Linux. I’ll follow the same structure as previously. Laying out the work Here’s the setup, server- and client-side. Server-side Here is how I integrate Thymeleaf and Alpine.js in the POM: pom.
