When deciding what to pick, there are many things to consider, like where the proxy needs to be, if it “just” needs to redirect the connections, or if more features need to be in, like caching and filtering, or if it needs to be integrated with some MySQL embedded automation. Given that, there never was a single straight answer.

Normally this solution requires a full code redesign and could be quite difficult to achieve when it is injected after the initial code architecture definition. As illustrated above, ProxySQL allows us to set up a common entry point for the application and then redirect the traffic on the base of identified sharding keys.

For example, if a lookup fails and times out to your first DNS server it queries the next DNS server until the correct IP address is returned, or it is unable to resolve as seen in the infamous "This webpage is not available" error below. So DNS services definitely go down! Speed Speed also plays a role with DNS.

This approach was touted to be better for fine-grained caching because each subresource could be cached individually and the full bundle didn’t need to be redownloaded if one of them changed.

However, many other devices are sitting between the client and the server that also have their own TCP code on board (examples include firewalls, load balancers, routers, caching servers, proxies, etc.). For example, if the device is a firewall, it might be configured to block all traffic containing (unknown) extensions. Conclusion.

The fastest Androids predictably remain 18-24 months behind, owing to cheapskate choices about cache sizing by Qualcomm, Samsung Semi, and all the rest.

If our example document wasn’t reliant on JavaScript to construct the <my-app> custom element, the contents of the document would likely be interactive as soon as enough CSS and content was available to render meaningfully.
