Whether you are building a new app or you need to enhance the API response times for an existing app. Sections can be used to serve static or 3rd-party content while keeping your API response time below 100ms at scale.

Hello everyone, I'm thrilled to announce the launch of Sections and couldn't be more excited to share this with the world, starting with the Product Hunt community. This launch represents the culmination of five years of diligent work in our software engineering shop. Our journey has involved intensive coding, optimization, testing, measuring, and iterating. We initially built Sections out of dissatisfaction with existing technologies and solutions intended to enhance API performance. We found that these solutions often added unnecessary complexity to the tech stack, focusing on symptoms rather than addressing the root of the problem. This approach overlooked certain edge cases and introduced additional issues. With Sections, we adopted a different strategy. We didn't ask builders to compromise on performance, simplicity, or flexibility. Instead, we provide a tool that allows any builder to divide a large workload into smaller chunks (which we call "Sections"). Our engine then parallelizes the rendering of these chunks. Here's what Sections offers: No compromise on simplicity: What you build is exactly what's served to your users. No compromise on flexibility: When your data changes, it's instantly served to your users. No compromise on performance: Each section is small enough to render quickly. Add as many sections as you like, and watch as it scales seamlessly. Over the last five years, Sections has been used in production for four of them, and we've been refining it step by step. Now, we believe it's robust enough to be shared with other builders! We're so thrilled about launching Sections on Product Hunt that we've prepared some exclusive packages for the community, in addition to the free one you can start with: https://sections.geeks.solutions/ph I hope you'll enjoy it. I'm looking forward to reading your reviews and feedback on Sections, which will help us to continually improve our product. Thank you!

Speed is a critical factor for user experience on a website. Users tend to have really little patience for websites to load, that is where Sections can help. Sections is a high-performance serverless engine that accelerates page rendering time.

The app you didn’t know you need, all of sudden you can’t live without it. Strong team behind it with an eye for QA. Recommended.

Sounds like a good complement to cdn to boost website speed

@gaelle_lacoste actually, when you use Sections, you can store your files in a CDN too. But indeed, Sections addresses the API side of things as there already are many solutions for the frontend side

Our PH launch was just the beginning, I'm now asking you to help us decide what to focus on now. Let me know what is the next feature you would like to see us work on ?

Wow we ended up being #12 on the daily ranking. To be honest, I wasn't expecting to reach this position given all the cool no-code tools that are being launched on PH. it's great to see how welcomed the idea behind Sections has been on its first day. From the bottom of my heart, thank you to all the supporters! It's just the beginning ;-)

Indeed, according to Content Square the main friction point for online experiences is page loading time. Section is promising <50ms. that's impressive and revolutionary!

@jana_abi_akar Thanks for your support and for sharing this insight, indeed speed is a critical factor for conversions, SEO and for the user experience. Fun facts from the book Usability Engineering by Jakob Nielsen 0.1 second (ie 100ms) is about the limit for having the user feel that the system is reacting instantaneously, meaning that no special feedback is necessary except to display the result. 1.0 second is about the limit for the user's flow of thought to stay uninterrupted, even though the user will notice the delay. Normally, no special feedback is necessary during delays of more than 0.1 but less than 1.0 second, but the user does lose the feeling of operating directly on the data.
