Deep dives

Understanding Micro Frontends

Micro frontends represent distinct business subdomains comprised of relevant components, offering a fragmented approach to user interfaces rather than a complete application. This architectural pattern facilitates distributed development, allowing teams to work more independently through separate repositories and individual pipelines. Micro frontends can enhance flexibility and code management, as they enable developers to target specific functionalities without a monolithic build process. Ultimately, this approach presents various architectural choices, emphasizing runtime composition instead of the traditional build-time model.
