The solution

We will approach the solution in three steps:

First, we will completely automate the product-a deployment environment provisioning (Kubernetes) and cross-cutting concern setups to support all the micro-frontend deployment.
Next will be the application onboarding, which covers steps such as new repository creation and setting up the CI pipeline for a specific micro-frontend.
The final step will be to set up the CD pipeline and dependent infrastructures (database) provisioning for the micro-frontend for which the repository is created. We will do this using a set of providers, such as Helm, GitLab, GCP, and Kubernetes.
Information
We will create a template GitLab project with the dependent library and kick-start the micro-frontend development using a repository cloned from the base template repository.
