Beyond core mechanics, "PostCSS in Practice" addresses real-world challenges in performance scaling, security, observability, and automation for design systems and component libraries. The book also explores edge cases such as processing CSS in HTML, SVG, and JS; dynamic server-side and edge computing workflows; and harmonizing legacy and modern browser outputs. Concluding with a look toward the future-Web Assembly, next-generation CSS, and innovative industry case studies-this volume is an essential resource for developers who want not only to use PostCSS, but also to push its boundaries and shape the future of cutting-edge CSS engineering.
