Deep dives
Introduction to Module Federation
Module Federation allows for the dynamic linking of application parts at runtime, enabling teams to build applications faster by sharing code across different builds. Initially introduced in 2019 as a part of Webpack, it significantly eases the process of deploying micro frontends by allowing applications to share dependencies such as React, Redux, and Lodash. The system helps to avoid issues like duplicated dependencies across various applications and ensures that shared libraries are only loaded if required. This method effectively addresses challenges that arise in large codebases needing multiple applications to work independently yet cohesively.
