Back in 2016, I gave a talk outlining the causes and effects of the terrible performance of web apps built using popular tools on the fastest-growing device segment: low-end to mid-range Android phones. In 2016, Jio swept over the subcontinent like a monsoon dropping a torrent of 4G infrastructure and free data rather than rain.

Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform. Google was among the pioneers that created “web scale” architectures to analyze the massive data sets that resulted from “crawling” the web that gave birth to Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, and NoSQL databases. Back in the days of Web 1.0,

They could have copped to an honest error, admitted that these technologies require vast infrastructure and investment to operate, and that they are unscalable in the hands of all but the most sophisticated teams. It finally provides an effortless, objective quality measurement prospective customers can use to assess frontend architectures.

Teams with this support are free to set performance budgets, do “bakeoffs” between competing approaches, and invest in performance infrastructure. One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. Performance budgets keep everyone on the same.
