Email marketing has been declared “dead” many times, yet it continues to outperform newer digital channels where it matters most—real, measurable ROI. As we move into 2026, marketers are facing rising ad costs, stricter privacy regulations, and higher expectations driven by AI-powered personalization. In this evolving landscape, one question stands out.

As digital expectations continue to rise, backend performance is no longer optional. This article explains how poor backend systems quietly hurt business growth and how modern, API-driven architectures help companies scale reliably and sustainably.
