Micro Frontends Definition
- Micro frontends represent a business subdomain and contain relevant components.
- They are UI fragments consistently evolved and attached to a business domain, not a full application.
Micro Frontend Architecture
- Micro frontends focus on runtime composition, enabling distributed development.
- They allow independent repositories, pipelines, and runtime composition on the server or client.

- Conditional rollout, or feature flags, is a key micro frontend advantage.
- Loose coupling and an orchestrator enable dynamic activation/deactivation based on user, region, or beta status.
