Destructuring Frontend monoliths with MicroFrontends

Monoliths

@trishulgoel

Monolithic application is designed to be self-contained; components of the program are interconnected and interdependent

Frontend Monolith

@trishulgoel

All the code in a single place

Increased inter-team dependency

Slow development to deploy cycle

Increasing size of repo everyday

Only as strong as weakest link

@trishulgoel

MICROFRONTENDS

@trishulgoel

Microfrontend architecture is a design pattern where a monolithic Frontend app is destructured into small independent(?) apps. These micro apps are stitched together as a single page on the fly.

@trishulgoel

Standalone system

Independent Repository

Independent CI Pipelines

Independent Deployments

Parallel development cycle
