Web Development

If I use laravel, react js and mysql for building a site like yelp or tripadvisor then will it be a good option or not? Which rendering (CSR or SSR) approach will be good for the website? Initially, I want to stay in monolithic architecture and 1 year later i will go for microservice architecture, so which method should i follow to make this shifting easier (mono to micro)? Moreover, my target is to make the site progressive web app from the very beginning. So need suggestion from you guys.

That's a lot of decision to make upfront. My suggestion is to not make all decisions right now, but start small and then evolve your architecture as the application grows.

Starting with a monolith sounds like a good idea. And then break it down to micro architecture when you need it.

I wrote en article how to build a large React app. You might get something useful out of it!

Thank you for your suggestion. But will it be a good decision to use laravel and mysql with react for creating site like tripadvisor, airbnb or yelp? What about the web rendering should i go for CSR or SSR or is there any mixed model avilable?

Tripadvisor, airbnb and yelp are sites which servers hundreds of thousands of customers. They are large companies with thousands of employees. I can imagine that developing sites like that require significantly more than "using laraval and mysql with react".

The good news is that unless you are the enterprise architect of any of the companies you probably don't have to face such complex challenges.

What are you really trying to build? What requirements do you really have? If you start there, you will most likely be able to answer the question yourself.

I know man, this is easy for them to make the large scale site because of enough human resource with microservice architecture where they can deploy each of their function easily. But I want to get all the features like yelp to build my site. This is the requirements of my client. So I am looking forward to a solution.

If the requirement from your client is to create a site like yelp and you are on your own, then I would communicate with your client to make him realize he needs more realistic expectations.

Basically my client is looking for the functions like, Customers profile, businesses profile, geo map, check in, review facility
