A post on Mozilla Hacks leads our day as they announce experimental support in multiple browsers for WebAssembly. This is a big milestone and could have a significant impact on website performance. Google Analytics announces their 360 Suite, a set of analytics applications for premium subscribers. It is good to finally see Google put some serious effort into this area. Amazon AWS officially release the Database Migration Service, which will make it easier to move your datastores to their services. I will note that this is probably the first post in ages not to mention microservices or Docker 🙂
