Modules made awesome. Lessons learned from YUI loader on Node.js
summary
YUI Loader Server (YLS) runs on Node.js and shifts dependency resolution to the server so modules load as fast as prebuilt combos; it caches responses across users and reports big wins on mobile like 900ms to 450ms and desktop examples such as 106→30, 58→14; separating the loader into a dedicated process with webworker-separated loader avoids Node blocking and keeps memory stable, sustaining up to 400 requests per second in tests; server-side YUI, sandboxed iframe tests, pact/vows tooling and open source code are already used.
