I don’t understand micro-frontends.

Yesterday, after coming back from the walk with my dogs, I have seen a few notifications on Twitter where people tagged me asking to share my thoughts on the thread started by Dan Abramov regarding micro-frontends:

If you don’t follow me and you are curious about the topic from a technical point of view just check my Medium page, otherwise, there are many other resources on micro-frontends, just searching on Medium or using your favourite search engine.

Considering a few people mentioned my name in this is tweet started by Dan, I’d like to share my thoughts because I truly believe we can have a genuine discussion about micro-frontends with great benefits for everyone covering common questions that I receive weekly on socials, my personal email, after my presentations and so on.
