Micro Frontend Architecture - Building an Extensible UI Platform

Explore the benefits and challenges of implementing a micro frontend architecture in this 44-minute conference talk from Devoxx. Learn how New Relic successfully migrated from monolithic product applications to a unified, extensible platform UI. Discover how breaking down the platform into separate micro applications, views, and extension points reduces development toil and accelerates feature delivery. Gain insights into the advantages of this architecture, including simplified deployments, increased team autonomy, and localized complexity. Examine real-world experiences in addressing performance, resiliency, UI consistency, and scalability issues. Understand how this approach enables both internal development and third-party customization. Led by Erik Grijzen, a Lead Software Engineer at New Relic, this talk offers valuable lessons for web developers and architects interested in building flexible, high-performance user interfaces.
