Overview of this book

Micro frontend is a web architecture for frontend development borrowed from the idea of microservices in software development, where each module of the frontend is developed and shipped in isolation to avoid complexity and a single point of failure for your frontend. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will take you through the patterns available for implementing a micro frontend solution. You’ll learn about micro frontends in general, the different architecture styles and their areas of use, how to prepare teams for the change to micro frontends, as well as how to adjust the UI design for scalability. Starting with the simplest variants of micro frontend architectures, the book progresses from static approaches to fully dynamic solutions that allow maximum scalability with faster release cycles. In the concluding chapters, you'll reinforce the knowledge you’ve gained by working on different case studies relating to micro frontends. By the end of this book, you'll be able to decide if and how micro frontends should be implemented to achieve scalability for your user interface (UI).

Basics of edge-side composition

Edge-side composition may be the oldest pattern besides the web approach – if we reduce the web approach to purely taking links, that is. As you already know, techniques such as SSI and, later, ESI were only invented to place fragments of HTML on an HTML page. This was a simple yet flexible way to create reusable layouts.

Of course, when SSI was introduced, content delivery networks (CDNs) and distributed development weren't around. However, as we saw in the previous chapter, the use of SSI or its successor, ESI, may be a great choice when you're looking for a good way of denoting UI insertion points. The best argument in favor of using SSI or ESI is its widespread adoption and the clear rules governed by a specification.

As in the previous chapters, first, we will go over the architecture before doing a sample implementation. Finally, we will touch on some potential enhancements for our sample implementation.
