For example, we invest in next-generation, royalty-free codecs and sophisticated video encoding optimizations. Video downscaling is the most pertinent example herein, which tailors our encoding to screen resolutions of different devices and optimizes picture quality under varying network conditions. A visual example is shown below.

We went from an essentially serverless model in a monolithic service, to deploying and maintaining a new microservice that hosted our app backend endpoints. For example, the artwork service is separate from the video metadata service, but we need the data from both in the detail key.

Edge servers are the middle ground – more compute power than a mobile device, but with latency of just a few ms. The kind of edge server envisaged here might, for example, be integrated with your WiFi access point. One example from the paper is an application using the ammo.js Why would we want to live migrate web workers?
