Scalable UI Architecture - MicroFrontend Scalability Hacks
Micro Frontend architecture helps in developing highly scalable and maintainable applications. Here are some hacks.
1. Component Sharing: Use a design system to share components across teams. This improves consistency and reduces code duplication.
// React component
export const Button = ({ children, onClick }) => (
<button onClick={onClick}>{children}</button>
);
2. Lazy Loading: Load components only when needed, reducing the initial load time.
// React.lazy for code-splitting
const OtherComponent = React.lazy(() => import('./OtherComponent'));
3. State Management: Use a global state management solution like Redux to share state across micro frontends.
// Redux store
import { createStore } from 'redux';
const store = createStore(reducer);
4. Continuous Deployment: Automate the deployment process. This ensures that each team can deploy their changes independently.
# CI/CD command
git push origin main && npm run deploy
Remember, the key to scalability is maintaining small, autonomous teams and codebases. Happy coding!
