Alex walks us through some of the history of how ServiceWorker came into being, why it’s not merely a better API when compared with AppCache. Here’s a particularly interesting quote I haven’t seen brought up quite this way before: It’s hard to stress enough how much better reliable performance is. Think of it this way: the first load of a native app sucks. It’s gated by an app store and a huge download, but once you get to a point where the app is installed, that up-front cost is amortized across all app starts and none of those starts have a variable delay. Each application start is as fast as the last, no variance. What native apps deliver is reliable performance. |
