The benefit for customers: Authorized users can view this data and therefore manage their inventories across different sites, making the maintenance processes much more efficient. We need mechanisms that enable the mass production of data using software and hardware capabilities. This pattern should be broken.

Yet, this criticism of React isn’t completely unwarranted: React and ReactDOM total about 120 KiB of minified JavaScript, which definitely contributes to slow startup time. When even a bit of React can be a problem on devices slow and fast alike, using it is an intentional choice that effectively excludes people with low-end hardware.

For simplicity, we do not include networking or transaction management middleware in this discussion because although important in the real world they do not affect the key concepts. However, having the application logic in the client is even worse because you are sacrificing key database efficiencies of prepared statements.

We constrain ourselves to a real-world baseline device + network configuration to measure progress. Budgets are scaled to a benchmark network & device. JavaScript is the single most expensive part of any page in ways that are a function of both network capacity and device speed. The median user is on a slow network.

Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Network effects are not the same as monopoly control. Cloud providers incur huge fixed costs for creating and maintaining a network of datacenters spread throughout the word. And even that list is not invulnerable. Neither are clouds.

It can be hard to visualize the huge network of hardware that allows you to send a request for a page to a server and then receive a response back. Also, the amount of data that is required for the page, and the complexity of the route it must travel through, will determine the amount of carbon released by the network itself.

As we will see, QUIC and HTTP/3 indeed have great web performance potential, but mainly for users on slow networks.
