How DAZN scales frontend applications with microfrontends

Microservices provide a way to break up a monolithic architecture into multiple atomic units, allowing an independent scalability of a service. They also provide a better way to divide the domains across multiple teams. Luca Mezzalira explains how to apply the same principles to frontend applications, enabling you to scale up a project with tens of developers without reducing the throughput.

Microfrontends are a new architectural trend in the development of frontend applications. This architectural style can provide tremendous benefits to your projects and organization, offering a level of decoupling never seen before in single-page applications or universal architectures. That said, microfrontends need to be explored in practice. Luckily there are already a few companies using them at scale. Drawing on his work at DAZN, Luca Mezzalira explains how to implement microfrontends, enabling you to scale up a project with tens of developers without reducing the throughput. Topics include:
