What this book covers
Chapter 1, Introducing Microfrontends, introduces different architectural patterns, such as the multi-SPA and micro apps pattern for building micro frontends.
Chapter 2, Key Principles and Components of Microfrontends, covers core principles such as independent deployability, bounded contexts, isolating failures, runtime integrations, and so on.
Chapter 3, Monorepos versus Polyrepos for Microfrontends, compares monorepos and multirepos for managing micro frontend code bases, and why monorepos are preferred for building microfrontends.
Chapter 4, Implementing the Multi-SPA Pattern for Microfrontends, demonstrates building micro frontends as a collection of Single-Page Apps.
Chapter 5, Implementing the Micro-Apps Pattern for Microfrontends, dives deeper into building micro frontends using module federation and covering critical topics around routing and sharing state between different micro apps.
Chapter 6, Server-Rendered Microfrontends, shows how to go about building a server-side rendered micro-frontend using module federation.
Chapter 7, Deploying Microfrontends to Static Storage, takes us through the journey of deploying our micro frontend to a static storage hosting service such as Firebase.
Chapter 8, Deploying Microfrontends to Kubernetes, demonstrates deploying micro frontends to Kubernetes such as AKS on Azure.
Chapter 9, Managing Microfrontends in Production, covers topics such as branching strategies, versioning, rollback strategies, and feature toggles that are essential to managing micro frontends in production.
Chapter 10, Common Pitfalls to avoid when Building Microfrontends, talks about some of the common mistakes developers and architects make that negatively impact the benefits of why we chose micro frontends in the first place.
Chapter 11, Latest Trends in Microfrontends, covers some of the new trends, such as ES builds, cloud or edge functions, island patterns, and generative AI, and how they could be used to build micro frontends in the future.
