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).

Chapter 13: Dependency Management, Governance, and Security

In the previous chapter, you learned that micro frontends are as much an organizational challenge as they are a technological challenge. In Chapter 2, Common Challenges and Pitfalls, you read that dependency management, the governance of modules, and the security of an application are among the most difficult challenges that you can face when dealing with micro frontends. In this chapter, we will discuss these challenges in more depth.

Quite often, there are multiple ways of solving or at least mitigating a problem. It mostly depends on two factors: what architecture has been used for the micro frontend solution and how open or closed the system should be. Many of the concerns discussed in this chapter can be drastically alleviated by having direct access to and control over each micro frontend's source code.

In addition to the security aspects, many of the problems—or their direct solutions—also offer...
