With the dawn of SSDs, the storage though has become incredibly faster but purchasing higher capacities have skyrocketing price tags associated. It is but natural for a user to be lured into buying a lower storage but high performance SSD instead of a higher capacity HDD with terribly slow transfer rates. Installing heavy software could be a pain on SSDs due to paucity of space. Lightweight applications take up less space on the drive while achieving the same results of a conventional application under same hardware. Most companies are shifting to using SSDs for all their computer systems as a standard and hence the storage problem becomes more evident. A lightweight application development mechanism aims to solve the problem.
