Before jumping into a migration, it’s crucial to be clear about why you’re considering micro-frontends in the first place.
Migrating is a significant investment, so make sure you’re solving real, pressing problems — not just following a trend. The main drivers often include team autonomy, faster release cycles, scalability, tech stack flexibility, and improved maintainability. If your current monolithic frontend is slowing down releases, making it hard for teams to work independently, or struggling to scale with your business, these are strong signals that micro-frontends could help in your context.
Best practices and patterns
Team autonomy and parallel development: Micro-frontends let multiple teams own and release part of your system independently, removing bottlenecks where one team’s delay holds up everyone else.
Faster, safer releases: Independent deployment means you can release updates to one part of your app without risking the whole system. This isolation reduces the blast radius of bugs and makes rollbacks easier.
Scalability: As your organization grows, micro-frontends scale with you. Teams can be added or reorganized around business domains without stepping on each other’s toes.
