description: Micro Frontends in Action teaches you to apply the microservices approach to the frontend.SummaryBrowser-based software can quickly become complex and difficult to maintain, especially when it’s implemented as a large single-page application. By adopting the micro frontends approach and designing your web apps as systems of features, you can deliver faster feature development, easier upgrades, and pick and choose the technology you use in your stack. Micro Frontends in Action is your guide to simplifying unwieldy frontends by composing them from small, well-defined units.Purchase of the print book includes a free eBook in PDF, Kindle, and ePub formats from Manning Publications.About the TechnologyMicro frontends deliver the same flexibility and maintainability to browser-based applications that microservices provide for backend systems. You design your project as a set of standalone components that include their own interfaces, logic, and storage. Then you develop these mini-applications independently and compose them in the browser.About the BookMicro Frontends in Action teaches you to apply the microservices approach to the frontend. You’ll start with the core micro frontend design ideas. Then, you’ll build an e-commerce application, working through practical issues like server-side and client-side composition, routing, and maintaining a consistent look and feel. Finally, you’ll explore team workflow patterns that maximize the benefit of developing application components independently.What’s Inside-    Create a unified frontend from independent applications-    Combine JavaScript code from multiple frameworks-    Browser and server-side composition and routing-    Implement effective dev teams and project workflowAbout the ReaderFor web developers, software architects, and team leaders.About the AuthorMichael Geers is a software developer specializing in building user interfaces.Table of ContentsPART 1 - GETTING STARTED WITH MICRO FRONTENDS1 What are micro frontends?2 My first micro frontends projectPART 2 - ROUTING, COMPOSITION, AND COMMUNICATION3 Composition with Ajax and server-side routing4 Server-side composition5 Client-side composition6 Communication patterns7 Client-side routing and the application shell8 Composition and universal rendering9 Which architecture fits my project?PART 3 - HOW TO BE FAST, CONSISTENT, AND EFFECTIVE10 Asset loading11 Performance is key12 User interface and design system13 Teams and boundaries14 Migration, local development, and testing
