Hardware access APIs, notably: Geolocation. Integrated browsers present a model that, if allowed to flourish, pose a threat to the fundamentals of Apple and Google's whale-based, dopamine fueled, "casual" gaming monetisation rackets. Basic navigation and window management features to (e.g. Web OTP (for easier/faster sign-in).

If the site’s not available to people, game over, we might as well not even bother. And so it’s important to continually invest in stability, in strong infrastructure, in stable code, so that we have that strong platform to stand on as the next thing happens. Here at Yahoo!,

In April 2017, Amazon Web Services announced that it would launch a new AWS infrastructure region Region in Sweden. Today, we add to that presence with an infrastructure Region in Stockholm with three Availability Zones. They rely on the AWS Cloud for their entire infrastructure and use almost every AWS service available.

Plus there was all of the infrastructure to push data into the cluster in the first place. Doubly so as hardware improved, eating away at the lower end of Hadoop-worthy work. And that brings our story to the present day: Stage 3: Neural networks High-end video games required high-end video cards.

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. I recently helped a gaming website improve its performance. As a result of this, my view of the Internet for a long time was a little ephemeral, a sort of mirage.

Streams provide you with the underlying infrastructure to create new applications, such as continuously updated free-text search indexes, caches, or other creative extensions requiring up-to-date table changes. This new feature will help them manage inventory better to deliver a good customer experience while gaining more business efficiency.

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). In exchange, your team gains maintainability and developer efficiency, of course. From Fast By Default: Modern loading best practices by Addy Osmani (Slide 19).

These services also require the ability to scale infrastructure incrementally to accommodate growth in request rates or dataset sizes. DynamoDB frees developers from the headaches of provisioning hardware and software, setting up and configuring a distributed database cluster, and managing ongoing cluster operations.
