Adventures in Rendering Off the Main Thread

Explore an innovative approach to frontend development for real-time applications in this conference talk from NDC Oslo 2023. Delve into the challenges of building responsive interfaces with strong real-time requirements, addressing initial data loading, subsequent updates, and connectivity issues. Discover how web components can progressively enhance initial markup and learn to leverage workers for off-main-thread rendering. Examine an architecture that adapts to devices with unreliable internet connections while scaling up to fully realized real-time applications. Gain insights into optimizing performance and user experience in demanding frontend scenarios through this 47-minute presentation by Simon MacDonald.
