Is it worth investing in PWA on Magento?
Magento is a proven, mature e-commerce system, but its frontend (the part visible to the customer) leaves much to be desired. If the store's backend is properly set up and works at a satisfactory level (e.g. critical order paths run correctly), then to keep up with mobile-device requirements, adding a PWA layer to Magento is a good move.
You don't have to take the big cost of changing the CMS or business logic reflected in process automation and the backend. You only change the "outer" layer, and you do it with modern technologies aligned with Google's guidelines and the challenges of mobile commerce.
Along the way, this architecture provides better security, because business-critical processes that take place in Magento are isolated from changes made in the visual layer (frontend), so many e-commerce rollouts can skip any changes to the Magento backend.
Magento 2 ships a solid API by default, which is the foundation for building PWAs and apps. This is what allows ready-made solutions like Vue Storefront — an open-source framework. Thanks to certain standards and ready-made solutions we can significantly lower the cost of such an implementation.
