New to the whole front end world so pardon me for such a question.

I have a huge set of data about 5-10k records flowing in which needs to be displayed in a tabular form with sorting, filtering, selection addition and deletion.

Is it wise to sort and filter in the front end? Or make multiple calls to backend and perform the operations there?

If in front end what is the best way to perform these operations?

The application is going to be loaded on a screen and left there for users to view. So even local storage could be am option.

Using polymer for frontend so any special tool for this in polymer?

    On reasonable modern computer should be no problem to do it in front end. Did about 30k records once with ag-grid.

    Always backend if possible. You never know when a user is browsing your site with a potato and will complain your site loads slow.

    @ryanmhoffman what if the users internet connection isn't great and making multiple requests would be equally bad?
