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).

To get the most out of this book

All the examples in the book have been created with simplicity in mind. They all work similarly and only require knowledge of core frontend technologies such as JavaScript with HTML and CSS. The tooling to make the code run uses the most popular frontend toolchain based on Node.js. As such, if you know how to work with JavaScript and have used Node.js with NPM beforehand, you’ll have no problems following the examples presented in this book.

For the code in Chapter 8, Edge-Side Composition, you’ll need to run Docker. Alternatively, you may just set up a local nginx server, even though that would be a lot more complicated than just running the provided Docker file.

If you are using the digital version of this book, we advise you to type the code yourself or access the code via the GitHub repository (link available in the next section). Doing so will help you avoid any potential errors related to the copying and pasting of code.
