Just to set some expectations, because I get asked a lot… This is why I don’t currently talk about PWA or its integration with Magento.
However, at some point in the future I might have learned enough to at least talk about integration… But that could be at least a year from now.
I suspect that a JavaScript Developer would make light work of this, without any real need to know Magento. But I could be wrong.
Below is according to the Magento PWA Docs
Required skillset
The skillset required to work with Magento themes is different from the skillset required for a PWA storefront because of the technologies used in each approach.
