Backend-as-a-Service platforms promise simplicity, but often lock developers into complex APIs authorization rules. What if your frontend could directly manage data, authorization, and collaboration - without domain-specific backend code?
In this talk, Oliver shares how he built a triplestore-based BaaS to power real-time collaboration in his side project MonsterWriter, and how the approach grew into an independent open-source project. We’ll see how LinkedRecords.com enables fine-grained authorization, simplifies real-time collaboration, and supports a Bring Your Own Backend model that gives organizations more control over their data and vendor relationships. It is also shown how global state management becomes a lot easier in React apps.
