End-to-End Application and Backend State Management: A Comprehensive Review

The continuously ongoing evolution of complexity and scale of web and mobile applications necessitates the adoption and implementation of robust mechanisms for managing application state to ensure consistency, performance, scalability, and userfriendliness across the frontend and backend systems. This paper provides a coherent review of end-to-end Client and Server State Management (ASM) techniques, categorized into Local State Management, State Management Libraries, and Server-Side State Management. The paper provides a thorough analysis of popular front end frameworks, local state management mechanisms, front end management libraries, highlighting their implementations, benefits, and limitations. The paper also covers various server-side state management techniques, highlighting their pros and cons around latency, performance, and scale aspects. This paper offers actionable insights for full-stack developers to build scalable, fault-tolerant, and responsive applications, aiming to bridge the gap between theoretical knowledge and practical application. This study’s critical analysis and recommendations aim to guide future research and development in ASM, contributing to the advancement of modern application architecture.
