Best practices for monitoring progressive web applications

Progressive web applications (PWAs) are a modern frontend architecture designed to provide a similar user experience to that of a native iOS, Android, or other platform-specific app. PWAs are built using common web platform technologies—such as, HTML, CSS, and JavaScript—and are intended not only to run in a browser and be accessed from the web, but also to be installed on users’ devices and accessed offline.

Keeping Time in Distributed Systems

We all know that keeping a server clock "on time" is an ongoing problem that computer scientists have wrestled with for decades. Nowadays, most servers keep time using a quartz crystal oscillator that's powered by a CMOS battery.
