Microfrontends: Scalability Savior or Unmanageable Maze?
summary
Claims come from hands‑on work across six systems using single‑spa and Webpack Module Federation, with demos that load multiple app.js bundles via system.js and nginx on Kubernetes. Findings: independent builds and deployments work, but reuse largely fails, portal use cases succeed, BI charts integrate best with iframes for BI, framework‑agnostic stacks bloat the browser, web component registration conflicts break upgrades, and significant DevOps automation and governance prove necessary.
