Definition:Progressive Web App (PWA)
A Progressive Web App (PWA) is a web application that delivers native app experiences (offline access, push notifications, home screen installation).
Detailed Technical Explanation
Business Perspective
Allows shipping app-like experiences to mobile users without paying 30% app store marketplace commissions.
Technical Perspective
Service workers intercept browser fetch network requests, caching static app shells for offline execution.
Real-World Example
A mobile field attendance app allowing staff to mark check-ins offline, syncing records when network connectivity restores.
Common Architectural Mistakes
- ✗Un-invalidated Service Worker Caches: Caching application JavaScript bundles indefinitely without cache version invalidation strategies.
