RabbitMQ excels at managing asynchronous processing and reducing latency while distributing workloads effectively across the system. By prioritizing such messages, RabbitMQ delivers notifications with minimal latency, thus improving the user experience while sustaining the efficacy of communication systems.

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. Ford, et al., “TCP

With Bucharest being the capital and largest city of Romania, it makes for a great edge server location. The next closest active POP location to Bucharest was Istanbul which was still almost 900km away; this distance adds up in terms of latency. In 2017, the average speed was 21.33Mb/s ranking them 18th in the world.

The tooling to get a report with details from the time it takes to establish a server connection to the time it takes for the full page to render is out there. In contrast, tools like DebugBear and WebPageTest use more realistic throttling that accurately reflects network round trips on a higher-latency connection.

With Helsinki being the capital and most populous municipality of Finland, it makes for a great edge server location. Although both countries are relatively close to one another, they are separated by a distance of approximately 500km, which adds up in terms of latency.

Is it worth exploring tree-shaking, scope hoisting, code-splitting, and all the fancy loading patterns with intersection observer, server push, clients hints, HTTP/2, service workers and — oh my — edge workers? Long FMP usually indicates JavaScript blocking the main thread, but could be related to back-end/server issues as well.
