The 2014 launch of AWS Lambda marked a milestone in how organizations use cloud services to deliver their applications more efficiently, by running functions at the edge of the cloud without the cost and operational overhead of on-premises servers. As The New Stack reports, developers spend only 32% of their time at work actually coding.

However, one metric I feel that front-end developers overlook all too quickly is Time to First Byte (TTFB). A lot of people surmise that TTFB is merely time spent on the server, but that is only a small fraction of the true extent of things. The reason is because mobile networks are, as a rule, high latency connections.

The discoveries form inputs into the software development and delivery process, so new software and microservices will better stand up to unforeseeable events.
