1. @duffleit leitner.io Micro Frontends a Strive for Fully Verticalized Systems µCon London 2019 @duffleit leitner.io
2. @duffleit leitner.io David Leitner Senacor Technologies
3. @duffleit leitner.io “the idea of micro frontends is to extend the concept of micro services to the frontend world.”
4. @duffleit leitner.io Secret 1: That's fine in 80 % of the cases. SPA API Gateway Microservice Microservice Microservice DB DB DB
5. @duffleit leitner.io Monolith API Gateway SPA DB Secret 2: That's also fine in 80 % of the cases.
6. @duffleit leitner.io Microservice API Gateway SPA Microservice Microservice DB DB DB
7. @duffleit leitner.io Sam Newman “microservices are small and focused on one thing to be autonomous.”
8. @duffleit leitner.io Why autonomous? ✔ Independent Deployments ✔ Distinct Operations ✔ Technology Agnostic ✔ Model around Business Domains ✔ Small Interface Surface ✔ Parallel development
9. @duffleit leitner.io Microservice API Gateway SPA Microservice Microservice DB DB DB ❌ Independent Deployments ❌ Distinct Operations ❌ Technology Agnostic ❌ Small Interface Surface ❌ Parallel development Frontend Monolith
10. @duffleit leitner.io Microservice API Gateway SPA Microservice Microservice DB DB DB SPA API Gateway Micro Frontends

16. @duffleit leitner.io The more coarse-grained you can go, the more coarse-grained you should go. Or: Think big.
17. @duffleit leitner.io But,
18. @duffleit leitner.io Hyperlink Integration breaks your SPA.

22. @duffleit leitner.io Dashboard Profile Catalogue Ordering Ordering Catalogue Hyperlink Hyperlink Dashboard How to slice? One “Micro Frontend” per page. 2...n Micro Frontends per page.
23. @duffleit leitner.io How to integrate them?
24. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend Build Time Integration Server Side Integration Runtime Integration
25. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Mono Repo package.json Composed Application Micro Frontend Build Time Integration MonoRepo ✔ Allows extensive code sharing and reuse. ✔ Simplifies Dependency Management. Angular Workspaces
26. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend Build Time Integration ❌ Independent Deployments ❌ Distinct Operations ❌ Technology Agnostic ✔ Small Interface Surface ✔ Model around Business Domains ✔ Parallel development
27. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend Server Side Integration Project Mosaic
28. @duffleit leitner.io Based on the concept of Server Side Includes or Edge Side Includes ⛔ JS and CSS global scoped ⛔ Round-Trips are needed
29. @duffleit leitner.io Tailor is a Layout Server header fragment μService account fragment μService catalogue fragment μService maps your request to a template checkout-template.html ... dashboard.template.html profile-template.html
30. @duffleit leitner.io supports Javascript-Isolation init(fragment-dom){ ... } How about account fragment μService html script styles 1...n
31. @duffleit leitner.io supports Javascript-Isolation account fragment μService html script styles 1...n init(fragment-dom){ ... } isolate CSS: naming-convention like BEM
32. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend Server Side Integration ✔ Independent Deployments ✔ Distinct Operations ✔ Technology Agnostic ✔ Small Interface Surface ✔ Model around Business Domains ✔ Parallel development
33. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend Runtime Integration Aggregating UI Routing, Templates, Lazy Loading
34. @duffleit leitner.io the aggregation is done on a single point. Aggregating UI
35. @duffleit leitner.io the aggregation and configuration is done on a single point. Aggregating UI
36. @duffleit leitner.io the aggregation and configuration is done on a single point. immutablewebapps.org index.html https://12factor.net/
37. @duffleit leitner.io Repository Build & Deploy Server Browser Composed Application Micro Frontend ✔ Independent Deployments ✔ Distinct Operations ✔ Technology Agnostic ✔ Small Interface Surface ✔ Model around Business Domains ✔ Parallel development Runtime Integration
38. @duffleit leitner.io Ok, which one to use?
39. @duffleit leitner.io Server Browser Server Side Integration Runtime Integration Request Response Model Interactions between different Verticals are done on the Backend. Longliving App State in the frontend & verticals need to interact with each other.
40. @duffleit leitner.io Cool, anything that can go wrong?
41. @duffleit leitner.io UI/UX Consistency Shared State Resilience Tracing/Analytics Offline-First ...
42. @duffleit leitner.io 1 Micro-Frontend per Page Hyperlink Integration n Micro-Frontends per Page Buildtime Integration Serverside Integration Runtime Integration
43. @duffleit leitner.io
44. @duffleit leitner.io Micro Frontends in a nutshell Integration and Slicing Is your application big?* Frontend Monolith no Are UI/Domain Parts strongly independent? yes Applications integrated with Hyperlinks yes Server Side Integration no Are Server-Roundtrips a problem? no Runtime Integration yes * an application is big enough to justify using micro frontends, if slight UI/UX differences between the two most unrelated subpages are acceptable.

46. @duffleit leitner.io Micro-Frontends are Distributed Systems. The Final Secret:
47. @duffleit leitner.io Everything that can go wrong will go wrong. The Final Secret: Murphy’s law
48. @duffleit leitner.io Think of starting with a monolithic first approach.
