The perfect metaphor for web architecture doesn't exi--
Backend: Three people cooking in primitive conditions with giant pots over open flames. The unsung heroes doing the actual heavy lifting while covered in sweat and smoke.
Frontend: A polished restaurant interior with mood lighting and fancy tables. Looks great but completely useless without the backend's cooking.
