Module Federation: Theory vs. Practice

In the world of frontend development, Module Federation (MF) has emerged as an intriguing concept that promises to revolutionize the way we build interconnected web applications. MF’s potential lies in how it enables code sharing between applications, independent deployment, and the way individual dependencies are managed. However, as is often the case with promising technologies, in practice, developers encounter challenges that even the official documentation fails to prepare them for. Is this truly a revolution in frontend architecture, or just another short-lived concept? What does MF have in common with Micro-Frontends? In this talk, we’ll explore answers not only to these questions but also look at real-world use cases and the challenges developers may face during development.
