Struggling with the cumbersome monolithic front-ends that, over time, grow and get more difficult to maintain? Micro Frontends are the new normal now.
The great component model is a faster, scalable, and collaborative way to build the web. For large organizations, it facilitates continuous and progressive delivery. And for thriving startups, it presents a profitable choice as a scalable architecture.
The Micro Frontends architecture leverages techniques, such as App Shell and client-side scripting, CDN capabilities, and a mix of frameworks such as Ara Framework, Piral, Open Components, and Tailor.js, among others.
Integrate new and responsive features into your existing code, fit the necessary build tools into your existing build process, and scale your frontend development process to improve collaboration among decoupled, autonomous teams working on a single product simultaneously.
The proven micro frontends architectural approach enables you to decompose frontend monoliths into smaller, more cohesive and maintainable codebases that can be developed, tested and deployed independently, and upgraded incrementally, which is necessary for complex, modern web development.
Choose and upgrade your stack without having to coordinate with other teams. Build self-contained, independent apps that do not rely on shared state or global variables that lead to very tight coupling of code. Build resilient sites with better perceived performance using Universal Rendering and Progressive Enhancement.
The Micro frontends architecture enable our technology choices, codebases, teams, and release processes so that teams can operate and evolve independently of each other, without excessive coordination required.
Consider leveraging micro frontends solutions for building a modern web app to:
Develop an application in separate parts rather than a whole and upgrade UX in an incremental manner rather than all at once, without being weighed down by the monolith.
Ensure that every team working independently on your application frontend leverages the best frameworks and libraries, and reaches its full potential in creating capable front-ends with versatile designs.
Avoid accidental coupling between components with simpler codebases that are easier to work with. Develop, test, add, maintain, replace, or upgrade features and technologies with much ease.
Weed out functional limitations by clearly defining the context of different components of your application and taking note of the way data and events flow between different parts of it.
Reduce the scope and associated risk of any individual deployment regardless of how or where the frontend code is hosted. Deploy each micro frontend without considering the current status of other codes and pipelines.
Have fully independent teams in the true sense. Enjoy complete ownership of the component or a section of a product you're responsible for delivering, from ideation to build and beyond.
Some micro frontend implementations can lead to duplication of dependencies, fragmentation in the way teams work, and other technical challenges.
We have years of experience in managing and mitigating these risks by following the best practices.
We develop frontend applications in build-time by combining the best of both worlds –– the security and durability of the traditional monolithic approach and the scalability and collaborative capabilities of the micro frontends architecture.
Our frontend infrastructure team uses modern component-driven technologies like React and tools like Bit, Module Federation/Webpack5, Single SPA, SystemJS, Open Components and Piral to build micro front-ends.
Our front-end coders work independently, in decoupled codebases, to develop, test, and maintain features or products without the limitations of working inside a complex, cumbersome monolith with other teams.
We decouple the release pipelines of different teams from each other to enable each team to independently build and release changes to multiple applications. We rely on build-time integrations that do not couple our release processes together.
We have gained advanced expertise in adding, replacing, hotfixing, or even rollbacking a single, independently-versioned component or feature in our codebases.
We have the skillset to rapidly change and deliver upgrades and features. Our entire software development is resilient. We respond to user requests exceptionally fast.
Thanks to ___ added features like visual component documentation and even live simulations, all our components are discoverable, reusable, and shareable. We are not required to maintain any additional documentation websites, registries or tools for our existing components.
We ensure stronger isolation through the creation of a shadow DOM by combining HTML, JavaScript, and CSS within a web component that is segregated from the main document DOM.
When migrating legacy applications with monolithic architecture to the new micro frontends environment, we ensure to factor in the risks of dependencies and technical challenges. We resolve issues quickly by building up slowly, piece-by-piece.
The primary objective of Patra on this endeavor was to integrate their platform with the insurance providers of the USA such as BTIS, USLI, HISCOX, and Liberty so that the end users can get the best insurance premium quotes on their platform.
It is a platform designed for photographers and videographers to network and assist each other on projects. It is industry-specific and only professional businesses with a valid company number are allowed to join after a thorough quality verification process. After joining, members can post a job including their rates. Local, vetted photographers and videographers can then apply for the job.
