The line between web and native applications is thinner than ever, yet many frontend teams still struggle to reach native-level performance. This session dives deep into how to empower frontend applications with native-like speed, fluidity, and reliability without abandoning the web stack.

We’ll cover how rendering pipelines, runtime overhead, and data handling impact performance, and explore techniques such as:

• Efficient bundling and lazy-loading strategies

• Leveraging WebAssembly, OffscreenCanvas, and Web Workers

• Utilizing platform APIs for hardware acceleration and native integration

• Framework-level optimizations in React, Next.js, and beyond

By the end, you’ll understand how to design frontends that feel native, with smoother animations, instant interactions, and faster perceived load times, all while maintaining the flexibility and reach of the web.
