Recently, I've been encountering the Flux architecture a lot in the backend world. It's said to simplify state management and make data flow more predictable, but is it really necessary for every project? Isn't it overkill for small and simple projects? What do you think are the disadvantages of using Flux architecture? What are the advantages of traditional methods? Let's discuss, buddy.
How necessary is it to use the Flux architecture?

Exactly as you said about the Flux architecture—it really depends on the project, bro. For example, I recently built a simple blog backend, and all it needed was a database. At that point, I didn’t bother with Redux or Flux; I just connected directly to a REST API. Trying to dive into state management for small projects just complicates things for no reason.
But then there was a project with a 60-person team and real-time data streaming. That’s where Flux architecture saved the day. Keeping the state predictable in the stores made it way easier for new people to adapt. Of course, there are downsides—setting it up for the first time is a bit of a pain. You constantly have to link Actions and Reducers, and don’t forget to write the Action creator too. But I think for medium to large projects, it’s becoming the standard—better to go with structure than take the easy way out.
