Micro Frontends split the frontend web application into smaller individual web applications where each individual application performs a specific functionality. These individual applications then work together to make up the whole web application.
Many enterprise companies are beginning to adopt and implement Micro Frontend Architecture. Some of these companies split specific features of their application into a different Micro Frontend and then dynamically load these features into their main application on demand. This enables them to have feature-focused teams and to ship out faster and smaller applications.
Examples of companies using Micro Frontends include:
Scaling an enterprise-level frontend application is always a huge challenge, and scaling it properly so that multiple teams can work on it simultaneously is even more challenging. Implementing Micro Frontend helps alleviate these challenges. Here is our recent blog post on why you might consider implementing Micro Frontend architecture.
Work with your team to analyze your current monolith frontend web application and determine the best way to break it down into Micro Frontend.
Help your team identify the best tool to implement Micro Frontend Architecture.
Set up End2End test for the different Micro Frontends.
Help manage your team's communication
Restructure your current project to better support Micro Frontend Architecture.
Help your team set up the network infrastructure so these Micro Frontend applications work together seamlessly.
Our consultants will learn about your goals AND pain points, and help you find an architectural approach that makes sense, be it implementing Micro Frontend architecture with Module Federation or simply rearchitecting your Angular code to better meet the needs of your users.
Our team will do a deep review of your current web application and examine each feature/functionality to determine the best way to split it into a Micro Frontend Architecture for optimal performance.
If you implement a Micro Frontend Architecture and fail to choose the best tool to use, it can make an already complex process more complex. Our team will help you select the best tool that is right for your project.
We will write adequate E2E tests for the different Micro Frontends to make sure they are all integrated correctly. Read our intro post on testing with Cypress.
One of the key pieces of implementing successful Micro Frontend Architecture is ensuring teams have good communication. Facilitating communication between autonomous teams can be challenging. We can help you improve team communication to ensure that each team is on the same page, create processes to help avoid code duplication, and are more equipped to deliver features rapidly.
We will help your team structure your application to make it perfectly suitable for a Micro Frontend Architecture.
Our Angular engineers work hand in hand with our team of experienced DevOps Engineers to help you set up the different processes needed for your Micro Frontend to deploy correctly, some of these processes include:
Separation of µServices (Micro Frontend) and deployment configuration (read our recent blog post to learn more)
Implement a standard CD/CI process across each Micro Frontend which will include tests, build artifacts, deployment, etc.
Add hooks into pipelines to notify users/systems letting them know a particular Micro Frontend has been deployed
Set up the Network Infrastructure which includes:
Deployment repo
Cloud provider access
Networking (DNS, VPC, VPN, etc)
Compute - Virtual machines, container orchestration, serverless, blob storage (S3).
