Transitioning to micro frontend is on many companies’ lists, and for good reasons. As the tech world evolves, managing tech debt and maintaining a modern stack requires flexible strategies. After working with many engineering teams, we’ve crafted a solution to make the transition smooth, efficient, and effective.
Micro Frontend architecture is a design approach that structures a web application as a collection of small, independent micro apps. By doing so, we’re allowing teams to build, test, and deploy small parts of the application without impacting and even breaking the entire frontend application. This improves scalability, forms easier code management, and opens the door to multiple frameworks or technologies within the same application. By adopting Micro Frontend architecture, organizations and their apps can freely grow and evolve without being held back by the limitations of a monolithic frontend.
Tikal utilizes various micro frontend-related technologies and tools. These include Webpack MF technology, which allows the main application to lazily import micro bundles to be used as plain components. iFrame is used to embed separate content pages within the host application, allowing them to communicate and coexist (Please note that for this to work, a robust infrastructure must be put in place).
Last but not least, the Nrwl Nx monorepo management toolkit supports efficient enterprise-grade app development, enabling smooth opting out from npm versions for each micro app and improving speed and consistency.
By partnering with Tikal to implement Micro Frontend architecture, your business will achieve:
There’s no need to welcome users with an “under maintenance” screen whenever you want to upgrade your app. Easily scale your application by adding new features or services without impacting the entire system.
Shift and replace parts of the frontend with minimal risk to the overall application. External code sources will only impact specific sections, allowing you to collaborate with others within the mobile ecosystem.
Enable multiple teams to work in parallel on different features, using the best technology for each task.
Choose an architecture that allows you to embrace change and adapt to new technologies and market demands.
Tikal's approach to implementing micro frontend architecture begins with a thorough analysis of your project's needs and goals. Together with your team, we’ll design a tailored strategy for a flexible, scalable frontend. This collaborative approach ensures the creation of a micro frontend architecture that meets today's needs and anticipates future trends and user demands. Throughout the process, we provide guidance, best practices, and support to ensure a smooth transition and to maximize the benefits of micro frontend architecture for your solution.
