“We adopted micro-frontends… and suddenly authentication became everyone’s problem.”

That sentence alone has probably cost teams months of rework, endless Slack threads, and architecture diagrams that aged badly after the first production incident.

In the latest episode of Micro-Frontends in the Trenches, I sit down with Chris Fryer to unpack the realities behind his #microfrontends Framework, the evolving Module Federation ecosystem, and much more

☢️ WARNING: This is not a theoretical conversation.

Listen to the episode and let me know what challenged your perspective the most.

In this episode, I’m joined by Boris Besemer from Vercel to unpack what it really takes to start a migration to micro-frontends without turning it into a never-ending transformation.

We focus on the very first steps teams should take: how to identify the right starting point and how to avoid the most common early mistakes that slow teams down or create unnecessary complexity.

A big part of the conversation explores how the Vercel platform can simplify platform engineering during a migration.

We discuss how tooling, deployment workflows, preview environments, and developer experience can reduce cognitive load while multiple teams progressively move toward a micro-frontend architecture.

I don't think you need to know more than the name of the guest to love this episode: Sam Newman, author of Building Microservices and other best sellers on distributed systems.

This is an episode you don't want to miss where I talk about micro-frontends with Sam drawing parallelisms between the 2 layers of a distributed system.

Enjoy this fantastic episode
