On Feb 6, 2019 from 12:00pm - 4:00pm EST, AWS is hosting a free online event directed at IT and business leaders who are thinking about transitioning their businesses to the cloud.
This might be extremely boring, but it’s free and knowing AWS, I believe it will be valuable for anyone interested in the generational cloud transformation we’re in. Due to its scale AWS affects many of our smaller cloud/software companies.
“AWS Transformation Day is designed for enterprise organizations looking to make the move to the cloud in order to become more responsive, agile and innovative, while still staying secure and compliant. Join us for this virtual event and we’ll share our experiences of helping enterprise customers accelerate the pace of migration and adoption of strategic services.”

I find that the more “Cloudy” the WWW becomes and the more they offload server rendering to Javascript the greater the latency becomes. On the old days one way to keep visitors was to render enough of each web page to hide the fact that lots of stuff was still loading. When you see pages jumping all over the place it’s because what has been rendered might not be the final size of the resource and the browser has to redraw the page as new information arrives (asynchronously). The solution is to include the dimensions in the placeholder
<img … height=“200” width=“300”>
If you do that the page does not jump around but you can’t know that when the content, like ads, comes from a third party.
There were studies that showed that if a page didn’t render under a number of seconds the visitor would move on. That is still the case so latency matters. These days some websites take a lot longer to start loading. One starts to wonder, did my connection die? Is the page on the blink? What the heck is going on?
Apple has always recommended “customer testing” but most developers seem to think that their super-fancy equipment is what the rest of us use – which is NOT the case. So they create crappy customer satisfaction.
