  AWS Lambda has revolutionized serverless computing by allowing developers to run code without managing servers. It's a powerful platform for executing code in response to various events. While it offers Node.js runtime support, developers sometimes face challenges when dealing with NPM packages. In this blog post, we'll explore how to run Node.js apps with dynamic NPM packages in AWS Lambda, providing greater flexibility and functionality.   Understanding AWS Lambda Before we dive into installing dynamic NPM packages, let's briefly understand AWS Lambda. It's a serverless computing service that automatically scales, provisions, and manages the infrastructure required to run your code. Lambda functions can be triggered by various events, making them ideal for microservices, APIs, and event-driven applications.   Node.js and NPM in AWS Lambda AWS Lambda provides native support for Node.js, making it an excellent choice for running Node.js applications.

Impact of third-party scripts on Web applications.

 Modern web development requires third-party scripts, which are pieces of code hosted by external providers. However, they have a significant impact on the performance of web applications. The loading time can be slowed down, page size increased, and the user experience can be affected by them. When multiple third-party scripts are used by a web application, the problem can escalate. These scripts can interfere with each other and cause compatibility issues, leading to a higher risk of crashes and errors. Furthermore, third-party scripts can affect website security. Since these scripts are hosted by external providers, they can potentially carry malware or cause security breaches.  This is a major concern for e-commerce sites that deal with sensitive information such as credit card numbers and personal information. A web developer should limit the number of third-party scripts he or she uses and choose reputable providers in order to mitigate the impact of third-party scripts....

In order to optimize a website for important conversion metrics, it is also essential to understand users behaviors. What's the Trade-off? Out of all the JavaScript supplied on a website, third party analytics scripts like "Google Tag Manager" can have the biggest detrimental effect on performance. This is because downloading, parsing, and running these scripts are done by main thread and this will block the execution of primary scripts. With more third-party scripts being used on a site, the application's performance will suffer greatly. Async and Defer - Good Solution Third-party script loading can be done while using Async and Defer. Async enables your script to begin working as soon as it has loaded, without interfering with other page components. Defer means that your script won't run until the page has completely loaded. Async and ...
