Monolith to Micro-Frontends
Top Content
Microfrontends are considered as a solution to the problems of exponential growth, code duplication, and unclear ownership in older applications. Transitioning from a monolith to microfrontends involves decoupling the system and exploring options like a modular monolith. Microfrontends enable independent deployments and runtime composition, but there is a discussion about the alternative of keeping an integrated application composed at runtime. Choosing a composition model and a router are crucial decisions in the technical plan. The Strangler pattern and the reverse Strangler pattern are used to gradually replace parts of the monolith with the new application.

In this workshop, first, we’ll go over the different ways you can consume APIs in React. Then, we’ll test each one by fetching content from a headless CMS (with both REST and GraphQL) and checking in detail how they work.
While there is no advanced React knowledge required, this is going to be a hands-on session, so you’ll need to clone a preconfigured GitHub repository and utilize your preferred React programming editor, like VS Code.
You will learn:- What diverse data fetching options there are in React- What are advantages and disadvantages of each- What are the typical use cases and when each strategy is more beneficial than others
