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.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The median user is on a slow network.

If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled network (e.g. To make the performance impact more visible, you could even introduce 2G Tuesdays or set up a throttled 3G network in your office for faster testing. 150ms RTT, 1.5 Mbps down, 0.7 Mbps up) with a throttled CPU (5× slowdown).

Globally in 2018–2019, according to the IDC, 87% of all shipped mobile phones are Android devices. If you don’t have a device at hand, emulate mobile experience on desktop by testing on a throttled 3G network (e.g. Moto G4) on a slow 3G network, emulated at 400ms RTT and 400kbps transfer speed. 300ms RTT, 1.6 Mbps down, 0.8

There are several emerging data trends that will define the future of ETL in 2018. In 2018, we anticipate that ETL will either lose relevance or the ETL process will disintegrate and be consumed by new data architectures. In contrast, Alluxio a middleware for data access - think Alluxio storage layer as fast cache.
