Bitovi has been an instrumental part of our digital transformation efforts in successfully adopting Micro Frontend Architecture; their experienced consultants have helped us create our MFE architecture plans and coach our developers on effective implementation. We deeply appreciated Bitovi’s willingness to understand the needs of our business and provide the best possible solution given our preferences. It’s been amazing to see their hard work come to fruition in building MFE communication libraries - the simplicity in which they have been able to incorporate this library into our business applications demonstrates the hard work put in by the team to make this real and sets us up for a great future of composable applications. We’re very grateful to have Bitovi as an expert frontend development partner.

Why implement micro frontends?
Micro frontends split the frontend web application into smaller individual web applications where each individual application performs a specific functionality. These individual applications work together making up the whole web app.
Work with value-driven experts
We have experience implementing micro frontends using a variety of approaches and tools including Webpacks’s Module Federation, Single-spa.js, web components and Nx. Bitovi React consultants don't recommend technological solutions without a solid understanding of your business and product goals. Our consultants 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 React code to better meet your users’ needs.
Enterprise companies use micro frontends
Many enterprise companies are adopting micro frontend Architecture to 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.
Build Micro Frontends Using React to Web Component
React to Web Component (R2WC) is an open source tool created by Bitovi that allows you to use your React components as web components anywhere you use HTML. It lets you share React components as native elements without needing to be mounted through React. This means you can now use React everywhere! It requires a few lines of code and minimal setup. Module Federation is the defacto solution for coordinating your Micro Frontends. But it brings a lot of complexities along with it. R2WC is a better alternative that lets you easily transform your existing React application into Micro Frontend architecture. The experts at Bitovi can take a layout and a few React components from your application, convert them into stand-alone Web Components using R2WC, create a fully functioning MFE app from these Web Components, and deploy it.

What an engagement with Bitovi might look like...
1. We work with your team to analyze your current monolith frontend web application and determine the best way to break it down into micro frontend.
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.
2. We help your team identify the best tool to implement micro frontend Architecture.
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.
3. We'll set up End2End test for the different micro frontends.
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.
4. We'll help manage your team's communication.
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.
5. We coach your team on how to restructure your current project to better support micro frontend Architecture.
We will help your team structure your application to make it perfectly suitable for a micro frontend Architecture.
6. Our DevOps experts help your team set up the Network Infrastructure/Deployment Process so these micro frontends work together seamlessly.
Our React 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).
