Microfrontends

Microfrontend architecture with Shadow DOM in Vue, React, and Angular to scale applications with independent teams. Proven experience with Layers Education, SmartX, IQVIA, and Epicor.

Microfrontends

Objectives

Enable multiple teams to develop and deploy frontend parts independently
Scale complex frontend applications without coordination bottlenecks between teams
Enable gradual technology migration without rewriting the entire application

Challenges

Frontend monoliths become difficult to maintain and scale as the application grows
Teams depend on each other for deployments, creating delivery bottlenecks
Migrating legacy technologies requires rewriting the entire application at once

Implemented Solutions

Solutions implemented to ensure scalability, security and efficiency.

Microfrontend architecture with Shadow DOM and Module Federation for isolation and runtime composition
Independent CI/CD pipelines per microfrontend for autonomous deployments
Shared design system to ensure visual consistency across microfrontends

Microfrontends — Scalable Frontend Architecture

DWCorp has extensive experience implementing microfrontend architectures for companies that need to scale their frontends with independent teams.

Clients

  • Layers Education — Educational platform with multiple independent modules
  • SmartX — Enterprise application with distributed teams
  • IQVIA — Solutions for pharmaceutical and healthcare industry (outsourcing)
  • Epicor — Global enterprise platform

Approach

  • Domain Decomposition: Each microfrontend is responsible for a business domain
  • Independent Deploy: Teams deploy without depending on each other
  • Runtime Composition: Module Federation to dynamically load microfrontends
  • Shared Design System: Visual consistency guaranteed (integration with Jaci)

Benefits

  • Team Autonomy: Each team controls their own development and deployment cycle
  • Scalability: New modules are added without impacting existing ones
  • Gradual Migration: Ability to migrate technologies part by part
  • Resilience: Failures in one microfrontend don't affect others

Technology Stack

  • Shadow DOM para isolamento de estilos e encapsulamento
  • Module Federation (Webpack 5 / Vite)
  • React, Vue, Angular (coexistence possible)
  • Independent CI/CD pipelines
  • Per-microfrontend monitoring and observability
