Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. As such, web workers are a natural target to offload to a more powerful server.

My personal opinion is that I don't see a widespread need for more capacity given horizontal scaling and servers that can already exceed 1 Tbyte of DRAM; bandwidth is also helpful, but I'd be concerned about the increased latency for adding a hop to more memory.

You may not think about it often, but the Internet uses a colossal amount of electricity. This, in turn, means that the Internet’s carbon footprint has grown to the point where it may have eclipsed global air travel , and this makes the Internet the largest coal-fired machine on Earth. These include data transfer (i.e.
