Micro-Frontends vs. Distributed Monolith
Luca Mezzalira argues that stitching libraries together isn’t a new architecture—it’s a distributed monolith that kills team velocity. True micro-frontends own a business subdomain and run independently, avoiding coupling disguised as “reusability.” He walks through the Micro-Frontends Decisions Framework (Identify, Compose, Route, Communicate), plus best practices for client/server composition, event-based communication, and app shell guardrails.
Org Alignment, Deployment & Ownership
Leveraging Conway’s Law, Luca shows how teams and architecture must match. Platform teams set performance budgets and automate releases, while the Frontend Discovery Service enables canary/blue-green deploys. He warns against tech anarchy and premature abstractions (duplication can be cheaper) and champions the “you build it, you own it” value-stream approach for real frontend agility.
