The data is incredibly plentiful and difficult to store over long periods due to capacity limitations — a reason why private and public cloud storage services have been a boon to DevOps teams. Then, Google made the OpenCensus project open source in 2018. Monitoring begins here.

AWS is far and away the cloud leader, followed by Azure (at more than half of share) and Google Cloud. but the fact remains that a proportion of enterprises either outsource their email hosting to Google, Microsoft, and other providers or subscribe to cloud office productivity services that (in most cases) bundle email hosting, too.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.

Our metrics at Google show a conflicted picture (which I’m working to get to clarity on). Time required to read bytes from disk (it’s not zero, even on flash-based storage!). Their powers combined are going to fundamentally transform the optimal page-load for 2018 and beyond. The median user is on a slow network.
