summary
Shows concrete numbers and remedies: satellite NBN paths hit ~600 ms latency and spot‑beam swaps cause 10 minutes of downtime; dashboards carry 2,000–80,000 records and initial JSON payloads run ~6.5 MB. The team moves rendering to canvas, switches from JSON to MessagePack and gzip/brotli, and uses ETags, CDN and service‑worker strategies like stale‑while‑revalidate to cut payloads to ~6.5 MB to 250 KB and keep interactive single‑page apps usable in rural Australia.
