Liberating your Application from Framework Tyranny
summary
Argues that frameworks become wrong over time and shows an alternative used at Canopy: break a legacy app into independent front-end microservices with single-spa and migrate pieces (CRM, billing, nav) one at a time. Demonstrates the promise-based lifecycle API (bootstrap mount unmount), React helper libraries that call react-dom render, inter-app communication via JS modules/events, and a live Canopy integration that runs multiple apps on one page. Project is open source with new docs and examples.
