Micro-Frontends Architecture

Micro-Frontends is an architectural approach to developing frontend applications where a monolithic front end is broken down into smaller, independent parts that can be developed, tested, and deployed separately. Each micro-frontend handles a specific business functionality and can be maintained by different teams using various technologies.

This modularity allows for greater flexibility, faster development cycles, and easier scaling of the frontend application.

Server-Side Includes (SSI)

Reducing JavaScript on the client side is a key benefit of this approach.

Popular technologies and frameworks are often leveraged to support SSI, allowing for efficient content delivery and reduced client-side processing.

URL State: State in URL parameters

Props Drilling: Passing data through containers is minimized by utilizing URL state.

Independent development: Teams can work concurrently on different micro-frontends without tight coupling, facilitating parallel development efforts.

Frequently asked questions

What is Micro-Frontends architecture?

Micro-Frontends architecture is a design pattern that breaks down a large frontend application into smaller, independent parts called micro-frontends. These can be developed and deployed separately, offering increased flexibility and scalability.

How does a Design System contribute to Micro-Frontends?

A Design System provides consistent user experience (UX) across all micro-frontends, ensuring a unified brand identity while allowing each component to be developed independently and tailored to specific needs.

What techniques can be used to optimize bundle size in Micro-Frontends?

To minimize bundle sizes, developers should utilize code splitting, lazy loading of components, and shared dependencies between micro-frontends – this reduces the overall download size for each user.
