Posted on Aug 4 Originally published on my medium pageHey there, folks! Get ready for a super cool tech showdown! In this story, our web developers as superheroes, just like the Avengers. They've got a new trick up their sleeves called Micro-Frontends. It's like breaking big stuff into smaller, easier-to-handle pieces. Think of it like the Avengers splitting up to handle different tasks separately. Our developers can do the same with the front-end of websites! It's similar to using special ways to break down old, outdated web elements.And the best part? Each part can be worked on, put out there, and made bigger all by itself. It's like each hero can do their thing without waiting for the others. So, let's watch these web-building Avengers go wild with their Micro-Frontends powers! 🦸‍♂️🚀In the age of monoliths, developers faced countless challenges. As applications grew in complexity, making even the smallest update felt like an epic battle. Teams struggled to collaborate. Deploying changes felt very risky, like trying to walk on a thin rope over a sea full of sharks.But here comes the solution - Micro-Frontends!Micro-Frontends, in simple terms, refers to a modern architectural approach for building web applications by breaking down the frontend into smaller, independent, and self-contained modules. The main goal of Micro-Frontends is to improve the scalability, maintainability, and flexibility of large and complex web applications.In this article, we will delve into the concept of Micro-Frontends. We will explore its key characteristics and illustrate its implementation through an example of an e-commerce site. The article also sheds light on three types of integrations for Micro Frontends.So..Let's consider a hypothetical example of an e-commerce website that uses a micro-frontend architecture. In this example, the e-commerce website is composed of four main micro-frontends:Each of these micro-frontends is developed as an independent project with its own codebase, build, and deployment process. They can be maintained by separate teams, allowing for parallel development and faster iterations.ContainerIntegrationIn Micro-Frontend architectures, there are three major types of Integration to combine the individual micro-frontends into a cohesive web application.1. Build-Time Integration2. Run-time Integration3. Server-Side IntegrationIn summary, Micro-Frontends can be integrated through Run-time , Server-side, or build-time integration. Each integration type has its own advantages and disadvantages, and the choice depends on factors such as project requirements, tech stack, and the team's mindset.Conclusion In conclusion, Micro-Frontends offer a compelling solution for building scalable and maintainable web applications. Through the example of an e-commerce site, we witnessed how this approach can be helpful in the frontend development, unlocking agility and fostering continuous innovation. By understanding and implementing the various integration options, developers can fully leverage the potential of Micro-Frontends to deliver seamless user experiences and stay ahead in today's dynamic digital landscape.Templates let you quickly answer FAQs or store snippets for re-use.
