Commerce Layer's Alessandro Canessa recently sat down with Kailin Noivo, the co-founder of Noibu, to discuss Developer Relations, micro frontends (MFEs), and MACH principles. We're posting the transcript of a long-ish answer from Alex when he was asked what is a "micro frontend". The answer illustrates how we think about MFEs and why we built them. Alex will continue to expound on this topic, so dive in to get a sense of where he is headed from a thought leadership perspective: "To understand micro frontends, you need to understand a bit of microservices as well, because that's where the idea came from. The micro frontend approach comes from the idea of a single responsibility principle applied to both the frontend [of the digital experience], and the workflow of teams. They come from the same principle as microservices, where every service is responsible for a single thing only. There is such a thing as a monolithic frontend, and that's what micro frontends are trying to eliminate. It's not about size, micro doesn't mean it's a small frontend. It means it's an independent piece of releasable functionality. It could be a user journey, or just a part of it. But MFEs are released independently. "Commerce Layer has developed web components, React components, and hosted applications, which are abstractions of our API that reduce the time to market when implementing a commerce website. A micro frontend could be something simple like the price of a SKU, the ability to add a SKU to a basket, or to buy something. Everything is releasable and independent. We even built hosted micro frontend applications like checkout, cart, my account, and micro stores. You can have these independent pieces of an application that, in this case, could be the checkout that your team can implement, fork, rebuild, and then deploy." 👇 Listen to all 17 minutes of the goodness from Alex below.
