Speed Curve

MAY 2, 2016

SpeedCurve’s sweet spot is the intersection of design and performance - where the user experience lives. Other monitoring services focus on network behavior and the mechanics of the browser. Yet users rarely complain that “the DNS lookups are too slow” or “the load event fired late” Instead, users get frustrated when they have to wait for the content they care about to appear on the screen.

A lot of smart folks keep asking me why AppCache isn’t a good enough solution for “offline” and why it was necessary to invent Service Workers. It’s a great question! Motivated by the regrettably uneven browser support landscape for Service Workers, there’s a real incentive to “just make something work offline” on iOS or old-IE.

I have decided to write a series on some common and modern Design Patterns that are useful in today's horizontally scalable (such as cloud-hosted) applications. This is not going to be the usual, gang of four design patterns series, but rather more suited towards building a modern application architecture that caters for the increasing requirements for east-west communication and easily scaling up and deploying.

Not too long ago I wrote about sending emails in an Ionic Framework app using the Mailgun API. To get you up to speed, I often get a lot of questions regarding how to send emails without opening the default mail application from within an Ionic Framework application. There are a few things that could be done. You can either spin up your own API server and send emails from your server via an HTTP request or you can make use of a service.

I ended the previous post by stating that the stage is set for more radical change. Why? Consider the changing attitude toward land, property and shelter. For the pre-1965 generation, land meant a lot of things. It was wilderness to be fought with, to be made into a suitable place to live. It was where you built your shelter. It was how you earned or supplemented your living, by farming, mining, logging, or guiding.
