From Monolith to Micro: Breaking Apart a Front-End Application

Explore a conference talk from LeadDev West Coast 2023 that delves into the process of breaking apart a front-end monolith into micro frontends. Learn how to tackle the challenges of growing front-end applications in complex domains, including communication issues, code conflicts, busy pipelines, and release interdependencies. Discover the concept of micro frontends as an architecture that allows for isolated applications to be maintained and deployed independently. Gain insights into the steps required to split a front-end application, techniques for disintegrating code safely without impacting the production environment, and the key components of a micro frontend. Walk away with valuable knowledge on approaching the transition from monolithic structures to microstructures and practical tips for safely splitting apart monolithic architectures. This 23-minute talk by Thayse Onofrio provides essential information for developers and team leaders looking to improve their front-end application management and scalability.
