    Nice, thank you for sharing. Super important indeed. I recall reading h article below and it blew my mind.

    Basically, Amazon found that every 100 milliseconds cost them about 1 percent in sales. That translated into millions of dollars per second. Google also found that an extra .5 seconds in search page generation time dropped traffic by 20%.

    I always think about this now whenever FB, Insta, Amazon, etc goes down and how people must be literally sprinting around the office trying to figure it out 😂

    Great read. I've also seen night and day difference in speed after moving my application to serverless running on AWS Lambda - hold mother of speeeeed :) It certainly makes things more complex, but holy cow is it fast!

      Are you using Lambda or Lambda@Edge?

        I'm using a service called Laravel Vapor which deploys my Laravel application on AWS Lambda, and I believe it uses Lambda.
