Every major technology shift happened when one part of the stack collapsed with another.
For example: Web apps collapsed cross-platform development. Instead of developing two or three versions of your app, you now develop one, available everywhere!
Node.js collapsed client and server development. You get one language instead of two! You can share code between them!
Docker collapsed the distinction between dev and prod.
React collapsed HTML and JS, Tailwind collapsed JS and CSS.
Sync engines collapse the database and the server. If your database is smart enough and capable enough, why would you even need a server? Hosted database saves you from the horrors of hosting and lets your data flow freely to the frontend.
