Summary
In this chapter, you learned how edge-side composition can help us bring micro frontends closer to the client. Using edge-side composition, we get a simpler yet faster alternative to server-side composition. However, besides the raw performance gains, we need to be careful in our micro frontends so that we support the pattern. It is no coincidence that many tools and frameworks that work for server-side composition can be leveraged – at least partially – for edge-side composition, too.
This pattern can be used for information-driven websites, too, under the constraint that the micro frontends are less complex than their server-side composed counterparts.
In the next chapter, we will go one step further by fully composing micro frontends on the client. We’ll see that new challenges and opportunities await us.
