Perhaps a more direct way to say this in the context of economic value creation is that companies such as Amazon and Google and Facebook had developed a set of remarkable advances in networked and data-enabled market coordination. But over time, something went very wrong. Cory Doctorow calls this the “enshittification” of Big Tech platforms.

SQL Server According to Bob

SEPTEMBER 26, 2016

Performance issues surrounding Availability Groups typically were related to disk I/O or network speeds. While we were confident in the design of SQL Server 2012, several customers reported to us performance problems that did not appear to be with disk subsystems, CPU, or networks. Now disk I/O and CPU capacity were no longer an issue.

TL;DR : To serve users at the 75 th percentile ( P75 ) of devices and networks, we can now afford ~150KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JavaScript (gzipped). This is a slight improvement on last year's budgets , thanks to device and network improvements. That is, what was the average device in 2016?

Thanks to progress in networks and browsers (but not devices), a more generous global budget cap has emerged for sites constructed the "modern" way: ~100KiB of HTML/CSS/fonts and ~300-350KiB of JS (compressed) is the new rule-of-thumb limit for at least the next year or two. Modern network performance and availability.

This isn’t to say that they need to function fully offline, but they must put their own UI on screen without requiring a network round trip.

Microservices architecture. Monolithic architecture takes a back seat with headless CMSes. Omnichannel. For content authors.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. The median user is on a slow network.
