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).

Backend- versus frontend-driven micro frontends

Very often, a micro frontend approach discussion starts with the almost classic "SSR versus client-side rendering (CSR)" topic. While some of the arguments would apply to a monolith too, other arguments that only apply to micro frontends can be found as well.

Important note

The discussion of SSR versus CSR is a relatively new one. Only since JavaScript frontend frameworks have become powerful enough that they can not only be used for CSR but actually should be used for it have people actively leveraged this option, and, indeed, in many cases, the option is not only quite simple but also has the least infrastructure complexity and great scalability. Nevertheless, for really fast websites, either pre-rendering or a mix of SSR and CSR will hit the sweet spot.

Backend micro frontends, often called server-side micro frontends, were among the first types of micro frontend implementations. One reason is that SSR is the original...
