Overview of this book

Micro frontend is a web architecture for frontend development borrowed from the idea of microservices in software development, where each module of the frontend is developed and shipped in isolation to avoid complexity and a single point of failure for your frontend. Complete with hands-on tutorials, projects, and self-assessment questions, this easy-to-follow guide will take you through the patterns available for implementing a micro frontend solution. You’ll learn about micro frontends in general, the different architecture styles and their areas of use, how to prepare teams for the change to micro frontends, as well as how to adjust the UI design for scalability. Starting with the simplest variants of micro frontend architectures, the book progresses from static approaches to fully dynamic solutions that allow maximum scalability with faster release cycles. In the concluding chapters, you'll reinforce the knowledge you’ve gained by working on different case studies relating to micro frontends. By the end of this book, you'll be able to decide if and how micro frontends should be implemented to achieve scalability for your user interface (UI).

Performance

Performance is almost always regarded as a feature. While different kinds of applications may be satisfied with different levels of performance, especially for end-user-facing applications, the general mantra is "faster is better." Amazon claims that every 100 ms of additional latency costs them about 1% in sales. This is a massive number and should not be underestimated.

Resource caching

As we saw, there are multiple kinds of websites these days. We have the following:

  • Static websites
  • Dynamic websites (server-side rendering)
  • Dynamic websites with AJAX
  • SPAs

Every kind has its own techniques to boost performance and stay scalable. For instance, already static websites will use an in-memory cache to avoid reading the page from the disk on every request. This simple feature can be already used in SPAs, however, must be implemented by hand for server-side rendering.

Most languages and frameworks that deal with server-side rendering...
