When it comes to network performance, there are two main limiting factors that will slow you down: bandwidth and latency. Bandwidth is defined as…. …the maximum rate of data transfer across a given path. Generally speaking, increased bandwidth is only particularly useful when you’re transferring or downloading large files. If you’re streaming video, the difference between a 2Mb 1 connection and a 20Mb connection will surely be appreciated.

Everyone talks about transformation these days, but the term is used so loosely that it’s begun to lose all meaning. I recently wrote a blog post suggesting that the ultimate test of transformation is whether the caterpillar became a butterfly – is it so different that it’s unrecognizable? That’s a useful metaphor, but many have asked me to make it more tangible in the world of institutions.

I perceive that fear is becoming pervasive and increasingly intense around the world. When I share this perception with others, I often get the response: “What fear? I don’t know many people who are afraid.”. That’s part of the problem. The fear is often not visible unless we know where and how to look for it. Why is that the case? Emotions are suspect As I’ve written elsewhere , our institutions are organized on a scalable efficiency model that views emotions as deeply suspect.

Knowing how to create a GraphQL powered API is great, but what if you need to query it from a client facing application?

However, I had left some things to be desired in that previous post. For example, the previous tutorial did not use proper session management with Express.js and it used jQuery, which is neat, but by no means is as popular as some of the other web frameworks that currently exist.
