Short Overview: Micro-Frontends 🧩

Marcos Silva - May 27 - - Dev Community

When people talk about Micro-Frontends, the first thing that they would mention is their amazing power to scale up. They achieve this by splitting services into smaller pieces which cooperate seamlessly.

Advantages of Micro-Frontends 👍

  • Micro-Frontend supports strands where teams can realize the subsequent frontend features distinctly making iteration faster.

  • Horizontal scalability in micro frontends aims to empower organizations to expand their frontend architectures by scaling out horizontally. 📈

Disvantages of Micro-Frontends 👎

  • Micro-frontends can complicate the development, maintenance, and building of a website. However, these challenges can be mitigated by using smart designs, tools that aid in automatic deployment and testing, and ensuring clear communication between teams. 📉

  • Dependency management could be a problem if the teams don't communicate each others. But it can be resolved by estabilishing clear communication channels between teams to discuss updates! 👌

Monolithic applications often encounter challenges with effective scaling. By decomposing the frontend into micro-frontends, advanced logic structures such as lazy loading and service workers can be implemented more efficiently.

JavaScript flexibility allows teams to add a variety of frameworks and libraries, facilitating seamless integration and interoperability between microfrontends. The rich ecosystem of JavaScript tools provides developers with powerful resources to create dynamic and responsive user interfaces.❤️
