Micro Frontends: Module Federation vs. Ripple CI
- Micro frontends have emerged to make building scalable web applications easier. To do this, monolithic frontends are broken down into smaller, independent pieces that teams can work autonomously on.
- This makes it possible to deliver features faster, but integrating the independent pieces can bring a few unique challenges when creating the final application.
- Two possible solutions are Module Federation and Ripple CI, which offer solutions for balancing the need for runtime flexibility with build-time stability.
- Module Federation resolves the challenge of runtime integration for microfrontends and allows for faster iterations by deploying updates independently.
- Challenges with Module Federation may include increased runtime complexity and performance overheads and maintenance issues. Composable Module Federation can help address some of these challenges and ensure scalability, collaboration and consistency.
- A recommended solution is Ripple CI, ensuring build-time stability in Component-Driven Micro Frontends. Ripple CI is a component-driven CI/CD tool and ensures validation of dependencies and testing of components before integration.
- The selective builds feature in Ripple CI only rebuilds the components that are affected by changes, thereby reducing build times and resource consumption.
- By integrating Module Federation and Ripple CI into a microfrontend workflow, developers can maintain flexibility without sacrificing predictability.
- Using these tools can help transform your workflow and make developing microfrontends more efficient.
