Considerations for setting the architectural foundations for a fast data platform. Google was among the pioneers that created “web scale” architectures to analyze the massive data sets that resulted from “crawling” the web that gave birth to Apache Hadoop, MapReduce, and NoSQL databases. Back in the days of Web 1.0,

Vertical scaling is also often discussed, which involves increasing the resources of a single server, which can have limitations in hardware capabilities and become costly as demands grow. An example is running MongoDB on Mesos.

This is the second generation EPYC server processor that uses the same Zen 2 architecture as the AMD Ryzen 3000 Series desktop processors. It will also use less power than a two-socket Intel server, with a lower hardware cost, and potentially lower licensing costs (for things like VMware). TPC-H Benchmark Results with SQL Server 2017.

A close monitoring of the hardware enthusiast community, including many of the most respected hardware analysts and reviewers paints an even more dire picture about Intel in the server processor space. This made it easier for database professionals to make the case for a hardware upgrade, and made the typical upgrade more worthwhile.

— Alex Russell (@slightlylate) October 4, 2017. One distinct trend is a belief that a JavaScript framework and Single-Page Architecture (SPA) is a must for PWA development. We now have everything we need to create a ballpark perf budget for a product in 2017. Maybe "ambush by JS"? What’s going on here?

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. Meanwhile, budget segment devices have finally started to see improvement ( as this series predicted ), thanks to hand-me-down architecture and process node improvements.

Hardware virtualization for cloud computing has come a long way, improving performance using technologies such as VT-x, SR-IOV, VT-d, NVMe, and APICv. The latest AWS hypervisor, Nitro, uses everything to provide a new hardware-assisted hypervisor that is easy to use and has near bare-metal performance. I'd expect between 0.1%

On the other hand, we have hardware constraints on memory and CPU due to JavaScript parsing times (we’ll talk about them in detail later). Keeping progressive enhancement as the guiding principle of your front-end architecture and deployment is a safe bet. Consider using PRPL pattern and app shell architecture.
