What does it mean in practice?
For web applications, Backbone.js can affect performance, compatibility, caching, data storage and migration planning.
A practical Hostilla.pl example
When maintaining a website, describe the expected result first and record the current configuration. Backbone.js can then be checked against application requirements, hosting limits, logs and a rollback plan.
What should you check?
- the account, domain and expected result
- software versions and required dependencies
- a current backup or reversible change plan
- logs and a repeatable verification after the change
