As the internet grew, the amount of information available to consumers became so vast that it outran traditional human means of curation and selection. But in 2013 and 2014, it remained stuck at 83% , and while in the ten years since, it has reached 95% , it had become clear that the easy money that came from acquiring more users was ending.

There's no point in recommending a better browser because none is available. The New York Times reported in late 2020 that Google now pays Apple between $8-12 billion per year , up from $1 billion in 2014. In 2014, Apple would have enjoyed a profit margin of 50% if it had spent half a billion on browser engineering. Cui bono? —

The FaaS model of cloud computing debuted in 2014 with startups like hook.io. Infrastructure as a service (IaaS) handles compute, storage, and network resources. Increased availability. Because FaaS is a cloud-native approach, it makes great use of multisite cloud architecture to improve availability and reliability.
