Micro Frontends: Breaking Down the Monolith UI

Image
As applications grow in scale and complexity, maintaining a monolithic frontend becomes a bottleneck for teams and innovation. Enter Micro Frontends —a scalable architectural pattern inspired by microservices, but for the frontend. Let’s break down what it means and how it transforms UI development. What Are Micro Frontends? Micro Frontends is a design approach where a frontend app is decomposed into individual, semi-independent "micro apps" working loosely together. Each micro frontend: Is owned by a separate team Has its own build and deployment pipeline Can use its own tech stack (if needed) Why Shift from a Monolith? In a monolithic UI: All features are bundled together Teams are tightly coupled Releases can become slow and risky With micro frontends: Teams work autonomously Faster, safer deployments Clear separation of concerns How Are Micro Frontends Implemented? Route-based ...

Unlocking the Power of Web Components in Modern Web Development

Image
Web Components are a powerful set of technologies that allow developers to create reusable, encapsulated custom elements. As the front-end ecosystem grows more complex with frameworks like React, Angular, and Vue, Web Components offer a framework-agnostic way to build UI components that work anywhere.   What Are Web Components? Web Components are a collection of standardized browser APIs that enable developers to build custom, reusable HTML elements with encapsulated functionality. They are made up of four main technologies: Custom Elements – Define your own HTML tags with custom behavior. Shadow DOM – Encapsulate the internal structure of a component, preventing style and behavior leaks. HTML Templates – Define reusable HTML chunks that are not rendered until explicitly used. ES Modules – Package and import JavaScript code in a modular way.   Why Web Components Matter Framework Agnostic : They can be used with any framework—or...
