The document discusses front-end architecture for cloud applications using the Polymer web component framework. It describes problems with traditional one-page web apps related to low cohesion and high coupling. Polymer provides a component model for building cohesive, encapsulated components that can be composed together through HTML. It also supports responsive design through material design. The document argues that Polymer is a good choice for front-end frameworks because it is standards-based, has many contributed components, provides design tools, and is compatible with existing web technologies. It notes that the front-end plays an expanded role in aggregating and exposing APIs for cloud applications composed of microservices.
