Establishing a decent developer experience
In the previous section, you learned how to ensure that a minimal DX is reached. This is the level of productivity that must be provided to make micro frontends viable. Now, it’s time to level up the experience to ensure smooth onboarding for new developers, easier development and bug fixing for all developers, and a good overview of the system for everyone involved.
One thing to get done from the beginning is to centralize the code documentation. This way, the DX will benefit a lot – as most questions and issues can be resolved centrally.
Centralizing code documentation
One of the challenges in a distributed system is that things are, by definition, quite fragmented. For instance, the definition of an extension slot may live in one micro frontend, but the two extensions entering this slot are defined in two different micro frontends. Jumping between three repositories is cumbersome and impacts visibility. In the end...
