HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. India's speed test medians are moving quickly, but variance is orders-of-magnitude wide, with 5G penetration below 25% in the most populous areas.

India became a 4G-centric market sometime in 2018. Recall that single-core performance most directly translates into speed on the web. OpenSignal's global report on connection speeds ( pdf ) suggest that WebPageTest's default 4G configuration (9Mbps w/ 170ms RTT) is a reasonable stand-in for the P75 network link. How bad is it?

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. With the arrival of new cloud-native tools and platform, ETL is becoming obsolete. More details on this approach.
