Service Workers and Their Role in PWAs
summary
Progressive Web Apps use service workers as a client‑side proxy to intercept requests, cache assets, and run background tasks; the talk shows code for caching strategies (cache‑first, network fallback), explains the service worker lifecycle: register install activate, and details push flow with subscription objects (endpoint + client public key) and encrypted payloads. Examples include web app manifests enabling add to home screen via web app manifest and Flipkart Lite reporting a 70% increase in conversion after adopting a PWA. Notes iOS support arriving in iOS 11.3.
