Introduction

When you visit a web page, the creator’s intent is to present you a seamless experience that fills your browser window.  That web page or web application is generally divided up in some meaningful way across navigation elements, content, ads, header, footer, and other components.

Those components may represent the work of independent teams.  Typically a web app is built in a single code base, pulling all those components into a monolithic software application.  For backend software development, these monoliths are often split up in a refactoring towards microservice architecture.  In this episode, I interview Luca Mezzalira, author of Building Micro-Frontends.
