We went from an essentially serverless model in a monolithic service, to deploying and maintaining a new microservice that hosted our app backend endpoints. This allows the app to query a list of “paths” in each HTTP request, and get specially formatted JSON (jsonGraph) that we use to cache the data and hydrate the UI.

Applications can be serverless , with entirely ephemeral infrastructure that changes each time. This means parts of your site are copied and cached on dozens or hundreds of different points-of-presence around the globe. This is by design: CDNs are only able to work because they keep copies of your site around the world.
