Breaking a Monolithic web application into Micro Frontends
Web sites are often complex and difficult to maintain, especially when developed against a range of backend microservices. By implementing micro frontends the responsibility for the web functionality is broken down and shared amongst each team building a microservice. A simple single page application can orchestrate these micro frontends to the user. A shared, common interface allows the discovery of new functionality without breaking the front end design.
Traditionally as new modules are added to a web site, the code for the front end application must change to incorporate the new functionality. This results in a tight coupling in work process between the frontend team and the developers of the new functionality (microservice). Micro Frontends simplifies unwieldy frontends by composing them from small, well-defined components. This approach allows faster feature development, easier upgrades, and pick and choose the technology you use in your stack.
In this session discover how an existing web application can be broken into multiple micro-frontends using different techniques and languages.
