My definition of a performance budget has evolved over the years, but here’s my current working draft: A performance budget is a clearly defined limit on one or more performance metrics that the team agrees not to exceed, and that is used to guide design and development. It’s an approximation, but it’s a critical step.

To function effectively, containers need to be able to communicate with each other and with network services. If containers are run with privileged flags, or if they receive details about host processes, they can easily become points of compromise for corporate networks. Network scanners. Why is container security tricky?

I liked how ChatGPT helped me work through the tradeoffs of these initial design decisions before diving head-first into coding.

Typically, the servers are configured in a primary/replica configuration, with one server designated as the primary server that handles all incoming requests and the others designated as replica servers that monitor the primary and take over its workload if it fails. This flexibility can be crucial in designing a scalable architecture.

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.

The phenomenon of plateauing ST performance is a consequence of design constraints – primarily power. The Thermal Design Power (TDP) of a SOC in a current Ultrabook design is constrained to 15W. In view of this it is perhaps worth pondering why ST performance growth has stalled and some options to revive the growth.

Design: Performance is the gap between Figma mockups and the user experience of products for many, but not all , users. The extent to which a product performs well, the higher its likelihood of behaving in accordance to the approved design spec. Reduced network and device capacity correlate with other access challenges.
