Building Micro-Frontends: Distributed Systems for the Frontend

by Luca Mezzalira

Overview

What's the answer to today's increasingly complex applications? Micro-frontends. Inspired by the microservices model, this approach lets you break interfaces into separate features managed by different teams of developers. In this updated second edition, software architects, tech leads, and software developers will learn how to design, build, and deploy independent micro-frontends that compose unique frontend systems.

Author Luca Mezzalira, principal serverless specialist solutions architect at AWS, shows you how micro-frontends enable agility within an organization, decentralize decision-making, and optimize for fast flow. This gives your organization technical flexibility and allows you to hire and retain a broad spectrum of talent. Micro-frontends also support distributed or colocated teams more efficiently. Pick up this book and learn how to get started with this technological breakthrough right away.

You will:

• Understand the four pillars for creating a successful micro-frontend architecture
• Learn principles and best practices that will enable your teams to succeed with this architecture
• Examine the benefits and pitfalls of existing micro-frontend architectures
• Learn how micro-frontends work in conjunction with other distributed systems like microservices
• Discover different architectures for creating client-side and server-side micro-frontend architectures
