Web workers vs Service workers vs Worklets

Read Original

This technical article compares three types of JavaScript workers: Web Workers, Service Workers, and Worklets.

Web Workers are for general-purpose, heavy processing tasks; Service Workers act as network proxies for caching and offline functionality; and Worklets (briefly mentioned) are for low-level, specific operations like audio processing or CSS painting.
