- Cut through the complexities of designing a monolithic web architecture using micro frontend architecture
- Explore architecture patterns as well as their areas of use for building large-scale applications
- Learn how to build, test, and secure your micro frontends efficiently
- Purchase of the print or Kindle book includes a free PDF eBook
Book Description
The organizational pattern of micro frontends allows you to split web applications into multiple parts, where each part can be owned by an autonomous team. Each team can have its own development and deployment lifecycle, allowing every part of the application to be shipped in isolation. Following the strategies outlined in this book, you can avoid complexity while increasing resilience for your frontend. This updated edition will guide 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. Next, you'll understand how to prepare teams for the change to micro frontends, as well as how to adjust the user interface (UI) design and your CSS styles 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 strengthen the security level of your micro frontend solution, while reinforcing your overall knowledge with real-world 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 high scalability for your web app.
