However, one metric I feel that front-end developers overlook all too quickly is Time to First Byte (TTFB).

But what else is TTFB?

Complementing the hardware is the software on the RAE and in the cloud, and bridging the software on both ends is a bi-directional control plane.

The primary metric for memory bandwidth in multicore processors is that maximum sustained performance when using many cores.

Because we are dealing with network protocols here, we will mainly look at network aspects, of which two are most important: latency and bandwidth. Latency can be roughly defined as the time it takes to send a packet from point A (say, the client) to point B (the server). Two-way latency is often called round-trip time (RTT).
