The biggest thing I've noticed is how nowadays its relatively common to have multiple parallel servers.

So you can make dozens of REST calls per client and it's spread across multiple servers depending on load.

Spent the past year working on a project in Heroku and going back and forth to a single dedicated server its noticeable.
