-  [=/Service workers=] are started and kept alive by their relationship to events, not documents. This design borrows heavily from developer and vendor experience with [[HTML#shared-workers-and-the-sharedworker-interface|shared workers]] and <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/background_pages">Chrome Background Pages</a>. A key lesson from these systems is the necessity to time-limit the execution of background processing contexts, both to conserve resources and to ensure that background context loss and restart is top-of-mind for developers. As a result, [=/service workers=] bear more than a passing resemblance to <a href="https://developer.chrome.com/extensions/event_pages">Chrome Event Pages</a>, the successor to Background Pages. [=/Service workers=] may be started by user agents *without an attached document* and may be killed by the user agent at nearly any time. Conceptually, [=/service workers=] can be thought of as Shared Workers that can start, process events, and die without ever handling messages from documents. Developers are advised to keep in mind that [=/service workers=] may be started and killed many times a second.
