Frontends and micro-frontends

The main peculiarity of frontend microservices is that they need a robust web server that is able to optimize all the whole request/response handling and ensure the needed level of security. Moreover, high-traffic applications also need a load balancer.

If the frontend service is hosted on a Kubernetes cluster, both an adequate web server and load balancing can be provided through an Ingress, as described in the Ingresses subsection of Chapter 6, Azure Kubernetes Service.

Otherwise, Azure App Service (see the Further reading section) might be a good option, since it offers a scalable level of load balancing, excellent security, monitoring services, and so on.

A frontend microservice doesn’t need to interface directly with anything outside of an application. In fact, in micro-frontend architectures, there is no unique frontend, but the role of the frontend is split among several microservices. In these architectures, typically, the role...
