Offline-first: Making your app resilient to network failures
The document discusses making applications resilient to network failures by embracing an offline-first development approach. It recommends using service workers to cache assets and enable offline access. It also recommends using a database like CouchDB that supports offline access through features like document syncing and a changes feed. The presentation provides an overview of CouchDB and recommends some open-source libraries for working with CouchDB, such as PouchDB. It emphasizes that offline access should be the expected experience rather than an exception, and that applications should leverage techniques like caching and syncing to handle network failures gracefully.
