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. SaaS does not need you to manage hardware or other requirements such as OS and middleware. Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS).

Hardware Past As Performance Prologue. Regardless, the overall story for hardware progress remains grim, particularly when we recall how long device replacement cycles are: Tap for a larger version. But the hardware future is not evenly distributed, and web workloads aren't heavily parallel. Mind The Gap.

Instead of scaling up, where you buy more powerful and expensive hardware, you scale out by having more servers processing messages. But maybe I get delayed in traffic or wait until the end of that Game of Thrones episode I'm watching for the tenth time. Unfortunately it makes ordered delivery virtually impossible to support.

Within a few years, we saw significant expansion of contract labor firms (or "services", or "consulting", whichever you prefer): firms like Accenture and Infosys grew rapidly, while firms like IBM ditched hardware for services. With all cash and no equity, employees now had clear rules of the game, too. Tech labor was wage work.

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. More traffic is coming from smart devices every year, so don’t neglect mobile testing! Applause even provides testing for wearables and smart cards.

This saves clients traffic — sometimes traffic which the client is paying for. All of this means that it will be more costly because of the growing hardware requirement and a little bit faster. It may appear that the game is not worth the candle. And even then, you should keep in mind that because of the Node.js
