Typical use cases for a relational database include web and mobile applications, enterprise applications, and online gaming. Use cases such as gaming, ad tech, and IoT lend themselves particularly well to the key-value data model where the access patterns require low-latency Gets/Puts for known key values.

At first glance, the market for mobile browsers looks roughly functional. Tech pundits and policymakers form expectations of browsers on the desktop and think about mobile browser competition the same way. The mobile ecosystem appears to retain these properties, but the resemblance is only skin deep. The Baseline Scenario #.

You should expect one-time implementation cost (depending CMS and business requirements it can cost 200,000 USD to 3M USD) and yearly hosting infrastructure cost (proportional to load and traffic but typically 30,000 USD - 300,000 USD per year). Most of cloud object/blob storage services have native support for static site hosting.

A then-representative $200USD device had 4-8 slow (in-order, low-cache) cores, ~2GiB of RAM, and relatively slow MLC NAND flash storage. Meanwhile, developer behaviour offers little hope: Median mobile JavaScript payloads have only grown since 2016, now hovering above 400KiB of script transferred, or nearly 2.5MiB of uncompressed JS.
