Microservices provide more team autonomy than Microfrontends
Microservices provide more team autonomy than Microfrontends.
Here’s why:
With Microservices, each microservice dev team can pick their own tech. Why? Because each team can use a different tech with no user impact.
With microfrontends, all microfrontends should use mostly the same tech and patterns. Why? Because UI teams need to standardize on tech and patterns to avoid creating a bloated, insistent, slow UI.
Imagine using an app that mixes Angular, React, and Vue.
🚫 No shared cache
🚫 No shared components
🚫 Bloated page loads
🚫 Wasted bandwidth
🚫 Inconsistent UX
If a web UI needs to provide a fast, consistent UX, then standardizing tech makes that goal far easier.
