Abstract
Techniques for detecting and addressing performance issues related to a mobile application are provided. Examples of performance issues include a backend service (to which the mobile application is configured to transmit requests) becoming unavailable or overloaded, a third-party service that the mobile application relies on for data pertaining to the backend service becoming unavailable, and security vulnerabilities or code irregularities in the code of the mobile application. A fallback service that is separate from the backend service detects the performance issues and sends fallback data to the mobile application. The fallback data may cause the mobile application to operate in an offline mode, where the mobile application requests locally stored data instead of transmitting data requests to the backend service. The fallback data may reference page views that the mobile application downloads and displays instead of other page views that are based on data from the backend service.
