Unless your database is in the browser, you are always going to be at mercy of network latencies talking to the backend.

You're just saying, even if all you were doing was fetching a static JSON blob from the memory of the frontend server, you'd still want load states, right? (That makes sense, I'm just checking my understanding.)

[danappelxx]

Yup, exactly. Phones change wifi networks, routers drop packets, load balancers get overloaded. Hard to fully eliminate tail latencies.

You can with sqlite in webassembly

In theory, but there are still a lot of sharp edges. e.g. I wanted to use sqlite in-browser with an ORM, but few ORMs support such a setup.
