| Apr 12, 2017 at 14:53 | comment | added | user251748 | All this discussion about trying to avoid the hot potato really mystifies me. Whatever happened to the old saying, "The buck stops here"? Something has to manage the data, my bank would not like me keeping all of my financial transaction info only on my laptop. Why is everyone running away screaming from data? It is why we have computers! Crazy. | |

| Apr 10, 2017 at 8:38 | comment | added | Ewan | hmm kind of. If you have per user info on the server, even if its distributed you still have a scalability problem. | |
| Apr 10, 2017 at 7:46 | comment | added | Derek Elkins left SE | While memory leaks and denial of service issues were a factor, I think a more significant driver nowadays is elasticity and robustness to failure of a web server which is, of course, also related to scalability. The idea is if a server gets overloaded or even crashes, I can just reroute future requests (and with a bit more care even replay failed requests) to new web servers without coordination or losing state (as the user sees it). | |
