Introduced in 2015, the PWA concept has continuously evolved and established itself as an essential solution in modern web development.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Key features:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul>\n<li>Direct installation from the browser, without relying on app stores.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Offline functionality, ideal for users with limited connectivity.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Enhanced performance with faster loading times.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>In most cases, a native app is not a must-have (not everyone needs all the features smartphones offer&#8230;), and in those situations, PWAs could be a great solution to consider.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"2_Micro-frontends_and_Microservices\"><\/span><strong>2.
