Composing Micro Frontends Server-Side

Scaling development
Microservices are well-known now for some years and are widely adopted. But the frontend oftentimes is still monolithic. This application structure often reflects on the team structure: there are several independent backend teams and one single frontend team. This also prevents backend development teams from delivering complete usable features - they always lack the frontend. To implement the frontend all changes must be done by the one frontend team. This makes it hard to scale development. By implementing micro frontends we can form full-stack teams that can ship complete features on their own. This is one of the reasons why ThoughtWorks placed micro frontends in the “Adopt” section of their famous Technology Radar for the third time in a row!
