Oh and the complication doesn't stop there! For example, on DEV we load the state of whether you liked something asynchronously so we can otherwise cache the rest of the page as static HTML shared by all.

Every platform needs to do something to efficiently get you not only the content, but your unique relationship with the content... Choices about the product need a lot of consideration on how the data is fetched and what can be shared and cached, and the choices need to evolve over time to account for different amounts of shared use.
