The ability to process data as it streams has always been a fundamental concept in computer science. JavaScript developers had access to streaming through XMLHttpRequest, but it wasn't until 2015 that it was accessible natively through the Fetch API. Web streams provide a standardized way to continuously send or receive data asynchronously across network connections. They bring the power of streaming to the web, enabling developers to handle large data sets through "chunks", deal with congestion control (backpressure), and create highly efficient and responsive applications. Leveraging web streams in your web apps can enhance the performance and responsiveness of your UIs. The immediate data processing allows for real-time updates and...

Each element is critical to success in today’s ultra-competitive software market. At Clerk, we build authentication for the frontend cloud. We saw the need arise as frameworks and hosts tailored to the frontend cloud grew in popularity, especially Next.js and Vercel. Legacy authentication tools were not built frontend-first, and their technical architecture usually undermines the goal of speeding up...
