    10
    
    
    
** a bunch of data needs to be loaded into RAM before it can be used, queried, or computed on





    11
    
    
    
** e.g. large language models, databases, function-as-a-service

* User facing web applications





    15
    
    
    
** e.g. Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV), Jupyter notebooks





    16
    
    
    
** Also includes web applications that interact with an API (first bullet)
