[From Latency to Instant: Improving _GitHub Issues_ Navigation Performance](https://github.blog/engineering/architecture-optimization/from-latency-to-instant-modernizing-github-issues-navigation-performance/) — GitHub rebuilt issue navigation around a local-first, stale-while-revalidate model: render from an IndexedDB cache, revalidate in the background. ~70% of React navigations are now instant & P10 down from 600ms to 70ms. A deep account of the caching & prefetch design on GitHub's React/Rails stack.
