Danielle Maxwell - To Micro Frontend or Not to Micro Frontend
Discover the benefits and challenges of micro frontends, including how to integrate them efficiently, manage dependencies, and ensure a seamless user experience.
- Micro frontends allow for smaller, independent codebases that can be worked on separately, making it easier for distributed teams to collaborate and deploy changes.
- Consistency is key: ensure that all micro frontends look and feel similar to provide a seamless user experience.
- There are two main integration methods: build-time integration (using Webpack) and run-time integration (using iframes or web components).
- Build-time integration is more efficient but requires more planning, while run-time integration is more flexible but can be more complex to implement.
- Micro frontends can make sharing dependencies easier and reduce deployment bottlenecks.
- However, they can also lead to more complex codebases and CSS conflicts if not implemented carefully.
- Consider using a monorepo with multiple separate repositories for each micro frontend.
- Make sure to plan for authentication and authorization for each micro frontend.
- The speaker recommends asking whether a micro frontend is the right approach for your team’s problem, and considering the pros and cons before making a decision.
