What are micro-frontends, and how do they relate to microservices? Micro-frontends are a design approach that applies microservices principles to the front-end. Instead of having a single monolithic front-end, the front-end is broken into smaller, self-contained modules or applications that can be independently developed, tested,

nd deployed.

How they relate to microservices:

• Decoupling: Just like microservices, micro-frontends break down the application into

smaller, independently deployable components.

• Technology Independence: Different micro-frontends can use different technologies

(e.g., React, Angular, Vue) or versions of the same technology, allowing teams to

work independently.

• Autonomous Teams: Frontend teams can work independently on specific parts of

the UI without impacting the entire application.

Example: A shopping website could have separate micro-frontends for product listing,

checkout, and user profile, all developed and deployed independently.
