Micro frontend

A micro frontend is an architectural pattern for web development, where independently developed frontends are composed into a greater whole.^[1] It is analogous to a microservices approach but for client-side single-page applications written in JavaScript.^[2] It is a solution to de-composition and routing for multiple front-end applications.^[3]

Micro frontends (MFE) can be built using the following approaches:

• With tooling such as module federation or native federation
• With libraries such as Single-SPA or frameworks such as Piral^[4]
• With Web Components
• With iframes

Companies that use micro frontends are Canonical, IKEA, Scania AB, Spotify, etc.^[5]

For Webpack this concept is referred to as module federation.^[6]
