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).

Providing a minimum developer experience

For a basic DX, you must ensure that the development of your micro frontend solution does not work completely differently than the development of any other solution you created beforehand. Under the hood, a lot of things may be different, but when your micro frontend developers need to relearn everything, the acceptance ratio will be much lower than expected.

The first step to ensure that developers are fine with the micro frontend setup is to support a smooth development flow in the standard integrated development environments (IDEs).

Supporting development in standard IDEs

While development can happen with just a text editor and a way to share or use the code, almost all developers will be used to writing code exclusively in an IDE such as VS Code, Atom, or WebStorm. This shouldn't be much of a surprise to you. In the end, features such as code completion, language-specific snippets, or integrated debugging are hard to miss....
