Web page load times and responsiveness to user action in web apps is a primary driver of user satisfaction–and both are often dominated by network latency. Latency itself is a function of the user's connection to the internet (Wifi, LTE, 5G), how far away the server is that the user is connecting to, and the quality of the network in between. While the latency numbers may seem low by themselves, they compound quickly. For example, a network waterfall of depth 3 on a 300ms link leads to a total latency of 900ms. Technologies like React Server Components can move network waterfalls to the server where the same request pattern might be 100 times as fast. Read more Continue reading...

In a large team, creating new code should never be scary. Finding where to place code shouldn't be difficult. And deploying new code certainly shouldn't break anything. Ideally, your codebase feels transparent: easy to create, adjust, and monitor. The Frontend Cloud offers a complete Developer Experience (DX) Platform, so you don't have to spend so much developer time curating and maintaining systems that can be easily automated. Instead, you get centrally-located and collaborative tooling—Git-based workflows with automatic staging environments and more—where you can easily leverage the self-serve tools in front of you that just work by default.
