Mobiles have different models, screen resolutions, operating systems, network types, hardware configurations, etc. Also, how to test the hardware of the mobile phone itself, is it supporting all the software as it should? Let us have a look at the most popular types of mobile testing for applications and hardware.

The core algorithms (chain-replication, Paxos-based consensus) aren’t the stars of the show here, instead the paper focuses on how these algorithms are deployed, and the software engineering practices behind the creation of a mission-critical production system employing them. A guiding principle.

Infrastructure as a Service is the term used for those cloud-based solutions that provide complete infrastructure to the users including all the overheads, hardware, and networking facilities. As a user, you just need to pay for the services, install low-level requirements and set up the networking. Software as a Service (SaaS).

Pre-publication gates were valuable when better answers weren't available, but commentators should update their priors to account for hardware and software progress of the past 13 years. This challenging situation gave rise to app stores: OS vendors understood that fast-enough-for-games needed dangerous trade-offs.

Monitoring errors on the front-end requires a bit more work because front-end performance is highly dependant on the user’s hardware, software and connection. Of course, there are also times when the problem lies not with your application but with the user’s connection or network configuration.

In the same way that we have moved from a few big software releases a year to continuous delivery of many small changes, we need to move from annual disaster recover tests or suffering when things actually break, to continuously tested resilience. This discussion focuses on hardware, software and operational failure modes.

Limit the cloud services a cloud provider can offer and you limit the quality of the software we can build. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Building software is not moving freight. It would make the job of building quality software even harder and slower and more expensive.

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