The open source community has become a fundamental part of the tech ecosystem and has seen a lot of improvement over the years, yet it still doesn't feel sustainable. In this session, we will explore how the Tech by Choice community is leveraging micro frontends in react to create a unique balance between open-source community engagement and monetization. We will cover the technical process of building, and deploying, micro frontends, focusing on how they can be utilized to selectively gate certain features behind a paywall, all while maintaining the core values of open-source development. Through this process we aim to respect the ethos of open source that's focused on sustainable growth for developers to monetize their projects. Joining this session you'll learn practical strategies for implementing user-friendly paywalls, ethical considerations in monetization, and methods to foster a vibrant community around their projects. This talk is ideal for React developers, open-source contributors, and anyone interested in innovative ways to blend community building with revenue generation in the open-source sphere.
