Review on Vaadin by Seth Damain

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good alternative if Firebase doesn't work

I like that it's easy to get started and build an app quickly. I think it's a little bit buggy. I've had problems with loading pages and getting data from a database. I've been able to solve these issues by using their support forums. It's not as intuitive as other platforms out there so it's better to have someone who has used it before help you along. If you are looking for a quick way to get an MVP up and running. This is probably the best option I've found. I'm solving two things at once. First I am building my MVP faster than anything else I know of. Second, I also get some code reuse going on because I can share the backend between different apps.

Pros
  • Allowed me easily integrate into one project both frontend GUI application development &backend Java EE web applications devlopment in Spring Boot.Ease working within JVM environment , but less flexibility when dealing wth platform dependencies suchs sas/joda time etc.Good UI customization via css /less styling files which make themeing easier compared similar frameworks
Cons
  • Secret
