PUSHing web app performance with HTTP/2
summary
Hands-on coverage of HTTP/2’s real effects: use nghttp2/h2load to show HTTP/2 serves many concurrent streams with far higher throughput (demo sends ~10,000 requests), Node.js 9.4 exposes the new APIs, and a small TLS keygen utility eases local HTTPS. A push demo and a FASTify-based manifest prototype eliminate the HTML→asset round trips (zero think-time), but naive pushes waste bandwidth unless paired with a server push aware cache digest or serviceworker. A working http2.live CDN prototype exists, with a few cross‑OS tooling hiccups.
