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.

Recently I was asked about content management systems (CMS) of the future - more specifically how they are evolving in the era of microservices, APIs, and serverless computing. Secondly, having a CDN in front of origin (static site or APIs) reduces the global and regional latency. Eventually, we decided to move them to Jekyll.

That was until we went to production with our highest traffic customer. To mitigate the performance issues, we had to add a lot of (unbudgeted) extra servers and had to aggressively cache pages on a reverse proxy. It can be hosted on a CDN like Vercel or Netlify, which results in lower latency. As a result, they found that a 0.1s
