Comment on What Happens When You Put a Database in the Browser?parent

That analytics in the browser is about 10000x times more performant, and doesn't contest on a shared resource.

Right - so not a database, but a columnar analytics compute engine. Half of why we wrote arrow js was for pumping server arrow data to webgl, and the other half for powering arrow columnar compute libraries & packages like this.

For sub-100ms smooth interactivity, for data in a certain size range sweet spot, can be very nice!
