The fundamental principles at play include evenly distributing the workload among servers for better application performance and redirecting client requests to nearby servers to reduce latency. This makes it ideal not only for regular scalability but also for advanced analytics with intricate workload management capabilities.

Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values. The purpose of DynamoDB is to provide consistent single-digit millisecond latency for any scale of workloads. Take Expedia, for example.

Meanwhile, on Android, the #2 and #3 sources of web traffic do not respect browser choice. On Android today and early iOS versions, WebViews allow embedders to observe and modify all network traffic (regardless of encryption). Users can have any browser with any engine they like, but it's unlikely to be used. How can that be?

The risks embedded in these deep-wetware effects, and their cross-origin implications, mean that your website's success is partially a function of the health of the commons. Sadly, data on latency is harder to get, even from Google's perch, so progress there is somewhat more difficult to judge.
