The Art of Micro Frontends

By: Florian Rappl

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).

Horizontal- versus vertical-composed micro frontends

Micro frontends can be created on a per-view basis, as well as in a compositional way where multiple teams contribute to the same view. Using the former method, we refer to a horizontal approach, while the latter method corresponds to a vertical approach. In a horizontal approach, micro frontends are usually developed by people coming from different subdomains.

The following screenshot illustrates a typical horizontal approach:

Figure 5.2 – In a horizontal approach, multiple teams deliver multiple pages, each composed of multiple features

The main advantage of a horizontal approach is that it is very easy to reason with. Every micro frontend is not only developed in isolation, but is also most often found as an isolated web application in one way or another.

The main disadvantage of a horizontal approach is that it does not scale well. While most websites use parts from multiple subdomains on...
