Micro Frontends

Recent years have seen an explosion of interest in the microservices
architectural style, which has become popular due to its ability to allow
customer-oriented teams to build and deploy software independently. A

into the user-interface, since these are often monolithic frontend
codebases.

It should be no surprise that an approach to handle this has

application. My colleague, Cam Jackson, has been using this approach and
has pulled together an article to explain further why and how to do this.
In this first installment, he looks at the benefits of the micro frontend
architecture.
