A micro frontend is an architectural pattern for web development, where independently developed frontends are composed into a greater whole.[1] It is analogous to a microservices approach but for client-side single-page applications written in JavaScript.[2] It is a solution to de-composition and routing for multiple front-end applications.[3]

Micro frontends (MFE) can be built using the following approaches:

  • With tooling such as module federation or native federation
  • With libraries such as Single-SPA or frameworks such as Piral
  • With Web Components
  • With iframes

Companies that use micro frontends are Canonical, IKEA, Scania AB, Spotify, etc.[4]

For Webpack this concept is referred to as module federation.[5]
