11.7. The Future

It's notoriously hard to figure out what's coming next in the web applications field, but there's one way we can try and prepare ourselves. Building a modular, layered system, with simple and flexible programmatic interfaces to our core logic and data allows us to adapt to new challenges as they arise. APIs are the key to making sure our application can grow into future roles and expand without the need of massive refactoring.

We've delivered a bulletproof, scalable, and wellarchitected application. Now it's time to start over on a new one, and save the world all over again.
