A front-end application in a complex domain can quickly become messy.

The more an application grows, the more teams are needed to support different functionalities. This growth can become unmanageable if the right infrastructures aren’t in place. 

Challenges in communication, conflicts in code, busy pipelines, and interdependency for releases are common hurdles when dealing with a front-end monolith.

Micro frontends, architecture that allows isolated applications to be maintained and deployed independently from one another, have become increasingly popular as an alternative to deal with these issues. But how do you get from a monolithic frontend to micro frontends?

In this talk, we’ll go through the steps to split a front-end application. We’ll discuss techniques to disintegrate the code and how to do that safely without impacting the production environment.

You will leave this talk with knowledge on:  

  • What a micro front-end consists of 
  • How to approach splitting monolithic structures into microstructures
  • Tips for how to safely split apart monolithic architectures
