About Micro Frontends

What is Micro Frontends?

The idea behind Micro Frontends is to think about a website or web app as a composition of features which are owned by independent teams. Each team has a distinct area of business or mission it cares about and specialises in. A team is cross functional and develops its features end-to-end, from database to user interface.

from micro-frontends.org

Micro-frontends is a microservice-like architecture that applies the concept of microservices to the browser side. Transforming to a mono-like applications from a single, single application to an application that combines multiple small front-end applications. Each frontend application can also be standalone run, independent development, standalone deployment.

from a post in dev.to

But you can think easier like... You can use Micro Frontends to building modern web apps with multiple teams, such as e-commerce, social network...

How to implement Micro Frontends?

I found some articles about it

• Micro-frontend Architecture in Action with six ways
• The Strengths and Benefits of Micro Frontends
• Implementing a Frontend with Micro-Components
• Understanding Micro Frontends

Ah... sound like really hard to implement, right? 🤯

Yep, it really hard but... I created Nuz to help you! 😉

But I already have a React app, do I have to rewrite it?

Nooo, you can use Nuz with your React application, Nuz is compatible with the projects created by create-next-app and create-react-app.

What Nuz can do?

Nuz just is something great to resolve the problems while implements Micro Frontends application such as:

• 🛥 Require modules from the network
  • Compatible with Node require, just replace require by resolve.
  • Download resource from network, execute in safe context.
  • Support timeout, retry and fallback for modules while running.
  • Support preload and preconnect to reduce download time.
  • Secure with integrity hash downloaded content from CDN.
• ⚡️ Easy to create, develop, serve, build and deploy modules
  • Create a module quickly, just by a command.
  • Support development mode for standalone and workspace projects.
  • Build with auto-optimize code and minify size.
  • Easy to publish with integrity hash check.
  • Support file serving and directory listing in module, allow secure methods.
• 📦 Easy management the modules
  • High performance to fetch config for many clients.
  • Permission scope-based using by token.

  • Allow rollback module by version.
  • Allow auto create fallback using previous for new publish.

  • Support release by schedule.
  • Allow extends application by express.
• 🖼 Server-side rendering? Sure!
  • Easy to enable SSR mode.
