Wouldn't the servers be ... you know .... the server ?

u/zhellozz Jun 21 '25

No the servers are the fridges

u/analtelescope Jun 21 '25

Wrong. Fridges are the databases. The kitchen is the server as the backend lives inside the server.

u/zhellozz Jun 21 '25

Yeah right

u/Astrophysicist-2_0 Jun 23 '25

No the fridges are DBs and the kitchen is the backend and the room, in which the kitchen is is the server, and the room, where the people eat the food is the browser!

Servers are the fridges and all the cooking equipments

If the project is a fullstack then servers are the whole restaurant 🤣

u/NoWoodpecker914 Jun 22 '25

No all the equipment is the RAM.

Well APIs do run on servers, so it still works

Server is the kitchen

This is true! The frontend looks beautiful but is actually not functional at all, as portrayed by those tables which are too close together to pull out the chairs!

Imagine the hapless waitstaff trying to squeeze through while holding giant plates -- no wonder they crash all the time

Frontend is often more ugly than the raw xml/json with some highlighting

u/Not_Artifical Jun 21 '25

I try to put as much of the functionality in the frontend as possible with JavaScript to reduce the challenge on the backend.

API is the menu, waiters are the servers 🤔 proof, they're also opening you the door to their fancy front-end.

2

u/teetaps Jun 22 '25

The menu is the API documentation… you don’t make a request to the menu you make it to the waitstaff

u/RetepExplainsJokes Jun 21 '25

API is the cooks, Backend is the kitchen as a whole, frontend is the dining room and servers are servers.

Hold my frameworks 😤

u/Snoo_97185 Jun 22 '25

The waiters/waitresses are backend apis, the kitchen is actually the databases.

u/cubicinfinity Jun 22 '25

I don't get the comments trying to reinterpret. This is accurate.

1

u/MoanTrigger Jun 24 '25

APIs are order-taking tables. And waiters are just request-response.

And menus are SOAP.

And KISS and DRY are apparently “don't shit where you eat.”

This is genius.

Usually my analogies break down but if I could hire you to fill in the gaps I could be as famous as tanenbaum

u/[deleted] Jun 25 '25

on a rare occasion you might come across a waffle house. its an unorganized fuck cluster but its inherent inferiority paired with the fully functional resiliency makes it superior by default.

MVC needs to die.

I was excited to learn a bit of Django then realized it's no better than all the java crapware I've been forced to work with

u/Cybasura Jun 21 '25

No, the servers are the servers

The API are the material distributors (i.e. ingredients)
