8 Things You Did Now Know Micro Frontends Can Do

The session is focused on introducing microfrontends to individuals who have had little to no contact with them and aims to educate on various aspects of microfrontends.

The presenter is Flo, a solutions architect from SmartPio in Munich, Germany, who specializes in distributed web applications and microfrontends.

Microfrontends are the technical representation of a business subdomain, allowing independent implementations with the same or different technologies, similar to microservices.

Microfrontends can be developed locally and offline using a build tooling and emulator that allows integration of other microfrontends and testing in isolation.

HMFR is a process where updates to microfrontends are automatically inserted into a browser, allowing for streaming updates similar to hot module reload.

Microfrontends allow partial rollbacks by swapping specific versions of a microfrontend using a discovery service, enabling targeted updates without affecting the entire application.

Yes, microfrontends can be used for A/B testing and personalization by utilizing a discovery service to deliver different microfrontend versions based on user criteria.

No, microfrontends can be used in various platforms, including server-side rendered applications, making them versatile and transportable.

Microfrontends can enhance performance by allowing smaller, independent updates without affecting the entire application, improving caching and reducing load times.

Generative AI can be integrated by using a discovery service to create AI-enhanced variants of microfrontends, enabling experimentation with different versions for user feedback and optimization.
