Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. At Netflix, we've been using these technologies as they've been made available for instance types in the AWS EC2 cloud. Impressive! Nitro's performance is near-metal.

While datacenter based IT costs are largely fixed, in a three year depreciation schedule, cloud costs are inherently variable, and can be sized to fit the need. When times get tough, a focus on cost optimization can also greatly reduce cloud costs, and the results take effect in next month’s bill.

Richard Thaler won the 2017 Nobel prize in Economics for his work on Behavioral Economics. I had a professor in grad school who used to joke that all architecture is reinvented every 5 years. The same myopic view clouds us as researchers. Virtualization, for instance, was being addressed by IBM in the 1960s.

TL;DR: A lot has changed since 2017 when we last estimated a global baseline resource per-page resource budget of 130-170KiB. A silver lining on this dark cloud is that mobile JavaScript payload growth paused in 2020. The Moto G4 , for example. How soon will low-end and middle-tier phones be able to handle such chonky payloads?
