Micro frontends seems like a technology that's similar to Electron in a way. It gets criticised for its performance characteristics but there one can't ignore the problems it tries to solve for medium-large teams — there is a real need for it. Once webpack 5 adds support for this, I see a lot more folks using it. Like electron, the performance characteristics would continue to improve in the long term, but may never…

Got a link to the "webpack 5 and micro-fe" stuff? Thanks!

Webpack 5 adds module federation, which to some extend solves our problems with “too many people /teams depend on each other”. Doesn’t solve component communication, but provides support for shared libs management. Super popular currently. Best is to start here I think: https://medium.com/@ScriptedAlchemy/webpack-5-module-federat... And the “official” doc: https://webpack.js.org/concepts/module-federation/

Thanks! I'm neck-deep in a webpack4 project right now. Any idea when 5 will exit beta?

I really like your ideas here, but it makes use of backend for orchestration more than required in some situations. This nice demonstration of what you can do in frontend with many different approaches could be interesting to compare your ideas against, maybe? https://medium.com/ringcentral-developers/web-apps-micro-fro...

Thanks for the link!

After giving it a first, quick read it really looks like a lot of similar ideas are shared between Stacker and this framework.

Especially interesting for us is the separation between front ends on the client side, which I still, after all these years, find downright hostile if you need proper encapsulation of apps within one page.

Will take a deeper look!
