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).

A healthcare management solution

OpenMRS is a collaborative open source project that helped create electronic medical records (EMR) software. It was first released in May 2014 and was originally written in Java.

OpenMRS, Inc. is a registered non-profit company that is the owner of all project-related intellectual property and the maintainer of the software's public license. The entity also represents the project in legal and financial matters.

Overall, the project has about 200 permanent contributors divided into a dozen teams. The development is mostly done on GitHub, with project management being centralized on Jira.

Problem description

The project's ecosystem is huge. While the backend provides a mechanism that can be extended in the form of Java modules, the frontend was often considered a necessary evil and was either reimplemented or replaced by a suitable alternative.

One problem here was that many distribution creators wanted to have an SPA experience...
