Deployment of integrative HTML-based engine from an edge server

1. A method for providing content to a client browser, the method reducing time-to-first-byte for providing the content to the client browser, the method comprising:

providing a web page compiling machine, the compiling machine arranged to reside behind, with respect to the client browser, an edge server;

providing the edge server that interfaces between the compiling machine and the client browser, the edge server arranged to reside on an edge of a server network;

receiving at the edge server, from the compiling machine, a first compiled static web page that includes a first instruction, executable by the client browser, for determining a client configuration parameter from a plurality of client configuration parameters, the client configuration parameter comprising a client hardware parameter;

delivering, from the edge server, the first compiled static web page to the client browser;

receiving, at the edge server, from the client browser a request for a plurality of compiled static web page components, the plurality including a compiled static web page component, wherein each of the compiled static web page components corresponds to one or more of the client configuration parameters;

compiling, at the compiling machine, the plurality of compiled static web page components;

transmitting, from the compiling machine to the edge server, in response to the request for the plurality of compiled static web page components, a plurality of browser-executable scripts, each of the browser-executable scripts corresponding to one of the compiled static web page components; and

receiving, at the edge server, a request for a script from the plurality of scripts, the request corresponding to the client configuration parameter, wherein the script includes a second instruction to query the client hardware parameter and the script is configured to:

receive input from a client data input device via a rendering of the static web page component by the client browser; and

trigger a request to a virtual machine for information, the virtual machine residing on the edge server.

2. The method of claim 1 wherein the client configuration parameter is a client browser parameter.

3. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of compiled web page components are components of one web page.

4. The method of claim 1 wherein the plurality of compiled web page components are components of a plurality of web pages.

5. The method of claim 1 wherein one of the plurality of compiled web page components is part of a first web page and is part of a second web page.

6. The method of claim 1 wherein the second instruction is configured to query a client browser parameter.

7. The method of claim 1 wherein:

the parameter is a client hardware parameter; and

the instruction comprises:

a client hardware parameter query, corresponding to the client hardware parameter, and a client hardware parameter result:

a client browser parameter query and a client browser parameter result;

a client input query, for input from a client data input device via a rendering of the static web page component by the client browser, and a client-input result.

8. The method of claim 7 wherein each of the client hardware parameter result, the client browser parameter result and the client-input result, correspond to dynamic data residing on the edge server.

9. The method of claim 7 wherein:

the static web page component is a first static web page component; and

each of the client hardware parameter result, the client browser parameter result and the client-input result correspond to a second static web page component, the instruction retrieving from the edge server the second static web page component for display by the browser.

10. The method of claim 7 wherein the request includes an identifier that is keyed to:

the client hardware parameter result; and

a client software parameter result.

11. The method of claim 10 wherein the identifier is further keyed to the client-input result.

12. The method of claim 11 wherein the instruction is configured to formulate a platform identifier corresponding to the client-input result, the platform identifier corresponding to an element of a virtual machine residing on the edge server, the element corresponding to an edge server resource for processing the client-input result.

13. The method of claim 12 wherein the component is configured to be displayed by the client browser concurrently with a plurality of other components.

14. A method for providing content to a client browser, the method reducing time-to-first-byte for providing the content to the client browser, the method comprising:

providing a web page compiling machine, the compiling machine arranged to reside behind, with respect to the client browser, an edge server;

providing the edge server that interfaces between the compiling machine and the client browser, the edge server arranged to reside on an edge of a server network;

receiving at the edge server, from the compiling machine, a first compiled static web page that includes an instruction, executable by the client browser, for determining a client hardware parameter, the instruction comprising:

a client hardware parameter query, corresponding to the client hardware parameter, and a client hardware parameter result;

a client browser parameter query and a client browser parameter result; and

a client input query, for input from a client data input device via a rendering of the static web page component by the client browser, and a client-input result;

delivering, from the edge server, the first compiled static web page to the client browser; and

receiving, at the edge server, from the client browser a request for a compiled static web page component that corresponds to the client hardware parameter, the request including an identifier that is keyed to:

the client hardware parameter result;

a client software parameter result; and

the client-input result;

formulating, via the instruction, a platform identifier corresponding to the client-input result, the platform identifier corresponding to an element of a virtual machine residing on the edge server, the element corresponding to an edge server resource for processing the client-input result.

15. A method for providing content to a client browser, the method comprising:

providing a web page compiling machine;

providing an edge server that interfaces between the compiling machine and the client browser;

receiving at the edge server, from the compiling machine, a first compiled static web page that includes an instruction, executable by the client browser, for determining a client hardware parameter, the instruction comprising:

a client hardware parameter query, corresponding to the client hardware parameter, and a client hardware parameter result;

a client browser parameter query and a client browser parameter result; and

a client input query, for input from a client data input device via a rendering of the static web page component by the client browser, and a client-input result;

delivering, from the edge server, the first compiled static web page to the client browser, and

receiving, at the edge server, from the client browser a request for a compiled static web page component that corresponds to the client hardware parameter, the request including an identifier that is keyed to:

the client hardware parameter result;

a client software parameter result; and

the client-input result;

formulating, via the instruction, a platform identifier corresponding to the client-input result, the platform identifier corresponding to an element of a virtual machine residing on the edge server, the element corresponding to an edge server resource for processing the client-input result; and

displaying the component by the client browser concurrently with a plurality of other components.
