What are the advantages and disadvantages of the server-side of an application?

The server-side of an application is the core that processes logic, stores data, and interacts with clients.

Advantages:

• Centralized management of business logic.
• Ability to scale and load balance.
• Data security and access control.
• Easier to update and maintain logic in one place.

Disadvantages:

• Requires server resources and infrastructure.
• Can become a bottleneck under high load.
• Dependency on network stability.
• Complexity in ensuring high availability and fault tolerance.

For example, in Golang, the server-side can efficiently handle many requests thanks to built-in support for concurrency, but architecture must be designed for scaling and error handling.
