Summary

With that, we come to the end of our second chapter. We started the chapter by looking at the key principles we need to keep in mind. We saw why it is important to break teams down based on domain models, and why it is critical for teams to be able to independently deploy their own apps. We learned about the misconceptions associated with code reuse and how it can lead to a distributed monolith trap. We also saw the importance of DevOps and an automation culture. Finally, we learned about the four key components of a microfrontend. Everything that we learned in this chapter we will put into practice in the coming chapters, as we go about building our very own microfrontend application.

In the next chapter, we will dive deeper into monorepos versus polyrepos and learn how it’s more about team culture than technology. We will also start off by setting up our code repository as a monorepo to set up the foundation for future work.
