Micro-Frontend

Micro-Frontend Architecture: Benefits and Pitfalls Micro-frontends split a large frontend into smaller, independently deployable parts. Each part is owned by a team and can be built with its own tooling. At runtime, a shell app stitches these parts together into one experience. This approach fits large products with several teams and ongoing feature work. Benefits include faster delivery cycles, since teams ship their modules without waiting for a single release. Different modules can use different frameworks or libraries if needed, helping teams pick what fits best. The fault boundary is clearer, so a problem in one module is less likely to crash the whole app. Ownership becomes more focused, and new features can be added without rewriting the entire UI. ...

Micro-Frontend Architectures for Large Teams Large frontend teams often struggle with pace and consistency. Micro-frontends offer a way to split the work by feature or domain, so teams can ship independently while keeping a cohesive user experience. The idea is to break a big app into smaller, self-contained pieces that are built and tested by the owning team. Each piece is a micro-frontend that runs inside a shell application. The shell handles routing, authentication, and shared UI concerns. Teams publish their modules as remote components, with clear contracts for data and events. When a user navigates, the shell loads the relevant module at runtime, keeping performance in mind. ...
