HTML, CSS, images, and fonts can all be parsed and run at near wire speeds on low-end hardware, but JavaScript is at least three times more expensive, byte-for-byte. Many critiques are possible, both of the target (five seconds for first load), the sample population (worldwide internet users), and of the methodology (informed reckons).

There is no structural separation as there is with a train service. Each cloud-native evolution is about using the hardware more efficiently. Anyone can rent a rack in a colo and stand up a system. Without cloud services, there is no cloud because a cloud is literally defined by the services it offers. It has been done.
