The Future of Web Infrastructure: How Hardware Availability Layer is Changing the Modular Web Game with @vistaralabs.In today's world, our internet is built on a centralized foundation, all in one place.Google, Amazon, and Microsoft are a few examples of cloud providers that store the servers and storage that power our websites, and apps.These giants have certainly fueled innovations, but these innovations have also come with some limitations.Some of the limitations that have hindered the centralized web include censorship. Cloud providers can restrict access to information and take down anything at any time.The Modular WebUnlike the centralized web, the Modular web brought about a new way of structuring the internet. Imagine a web, built independently, has interchangeable components, with these components handling specific things like security storage and computation.In the Modular web, applications are broken down into smaller and independent modules that can be swapped. Decentralization is the focal point of the modular web because it leverages a network of distributed computing resources.Innovations is encouraged as the modular web allows developers to pick the best tools for every function, leading to more flexibility and competition.Hardware Availability Layer (HAL)HAL can be best described as the engine room of the Modular web. It gives access to the decentralized hardware resources needed to ensure the smooth running of modular web applications.HAL acts as a huge pool of computing power and storage that can be accessed by anyone.Developers can request the specific hardware resources they need for their applications and scale them up or down, depending on what's required.With HAL, developers do not need to rely on large cloud providers, bringing about decentralization and innovation.Benefits of HALHAL can optimize performance, reduce cost, and increase efficiency by matching applications with the most suitable hardware resources.With HAL, decentralization is inherent, as it makes it more censorship-proof and single points failure.
