Service Workers for the Rest of Us
Tue, 10th – 12:25
There are a lot of articles and tutorials on the web about Service Worker, but unfortunately most of them focus solely on JavaScript applications, and how to use build tools to turn those applications into PWAs. But what about traditional websites, content sites, or other sites that don't have monstrous build pipelines? Should they use service worker too?
In this talk, I'll give a brief introduction to service worker, talk about my workflow, and show how I use service worker to improve reliability and load performance for web "sites".
