Stop treating your frontend like a distributed monolith—you’re not designing a fresh architecture, you’re just cobbling libraries, and that’s killing your team’s velocity. In this InfoQ session, Luca Mezzalira unpacks the real deal behind micro-frontends: they’re business-driven, independently deployable units (not just bigger components), and reusability often morphs into coupling. By leaning into Conway’s Law and aiming for fast flow over perfect abstractions, you get incremental upgrades, decentralization, and happier teams.
He also walks through a battle-tested Micro-Frontends Decisions Framework (Identify, Compose, Route, Communicate), best practices for client- vs. server-side composition, ditching shared global state for event emitters, and when iframes make sense. Plus, Luca spills the beans on the open-source Frontend Discovery Service for true canary and blue/green releases, and reminds us that sometimes duplication is cheaper than the wrong abstraction—because you build it, you own it, and you run it.
