MICRO FRONTENDS: A NEW PARADIGM FOR SCALABLE ANGULAR APPLICATIONS
Keywords:
Micro Frontends, Angular, Scalability, Modular Architecture, Web DevelopmentAbstract
This article explores the emerging architectural pattern of micro frontends in web development, with a focus on its implementation in Angular applications. It discusses the growing adoption of micro frontends, their benefits such as enhanced modularity, improved scalability, and concurrent development, as well as the challenges they present. The article examines tools and strategies for implementing micro frontends in the Angular ecosystem, including Module Federation and shared libraries. It also analyzes the performance implications, consistency issues, and complexity challenges associated with micro frontend architectures. Drawing on recent studies and industry surveys, the article provides numerical data to illustrate the impact of micro frontends on development processes and application performance
