SNC - Progressive Web Applications -- Are They Ready for the Enterprise?

Progressive Web Applications (PWAs) allow developers to deliver the best of both web and mobile app experiences, ensuring every user has access to the same, most recent version of an application. PWAs are fast, integrated, reliable and provide immersive web experience across all device form factors. Mobile app capabilities, such as offline support and optimizing access to the underlying network using service workers, take the user experience to a whole new level. But the big question remains: do all of the above features make PWAs enterprise-ready? Enterprises need to think about security, access control and compliance with privacy rules, along with containment and isolation of business data from personal data when the data is available for offline use. Enterprises also must deal with the management and provisioning aspects of deployment to ensure a consistently high-quality user experience. In this session, we will look at PWA features in-depth and evaluate their readiness for the enterprise. We will also build a PWA using the latest in JavaScript tooling to show how easy it is using enterprise JavaScript frameworks as well as framework independent web components.
