There is a client-side proxy (ServiceWorker) in your browser!

Description

ServiceWorker is a programmable client-side proxy that enables you to intercept and interact with outgoing requests: forward them, rewrite them, synthesize responses, serve from cache, and much more. In this talk we’ll take a ground-up look at ServiceWorker architecture, its capabilities, and deployment best practices:

• Asynchronous install process
• Intercepting and rewriting requests
• Managing your own caches (yes, it’s true!)
• Enabling offline experiences in the browser
• Background updates and notifications
• Deployment and performance gotchas and best practices

It’s not an understatement to say that ServiceWorker will change how we develop, deploy, and deliver our applications. The goal of this talk is to give you a hands-on introduction to the key concepts, capabilities, and considerations for using and deploying it within your applications.
