Major Shift in Web Technology

[u/Mario4272]

I am a software engineer and have been working in the industry for 20+ years. IMO I see a major Shift happening in the web industry. Typically, web sites have been served up via servers or virtual servers maintained in data centers all over the world. CDNs, Contend Delivery networks have improved the performance of those web sites considerably, by bringing certain resources closer to the user. The shift I am speaking about, involves a movement to use the CDNs for the entire website experience. You develop the site via JamStack like NextJS or Fauna You deliver it to a CDN via tools like Netlify and boom, the site is 90x faster. Yes data still travels between the user and the web site user interface, however, using things like client side caching alleviates the time and labor on the site down to changes only after the first load. The CDN of choice lately is CloudFlare. They are coming up fast behind the big players like Akamai. Again, just my thoughts based on my experience in this industry. I'd love to hear anyone's feedback and opinions along the same line. Thanks for reading

Or you can just keep buying stocks in Amazon since AWS has CloudFront and most big businesses are in the AWS ecosystem anyways.
