# Use a network first cache second for service worker architecture

-   Status: in consideration
-   Deciders: Arthur Lu, Kara Hoagland, Rhea Bhutada, George Dubinin
-   Date: 12 / 01 / 22

## Decision Drivers

-   Need to balance the need for user ease of use and local first priority
-   Users should expect to update their app easily when they have network, but may not be expected to know how to perform a hard refresh
-   Local first priority means we should avoid unnecessary network activity when possible

## Considered Options

-   Network first cache second
-   Cache first network second

## Decision Outcome

Chosen Option: Network first for automatic app updating.
