Lessons Learned in Migrating to Micro-Frontends

Tuesday Nov 18 / 10:35AM PST, Pacific DEKJ at Hyatt Regency, San Francisco

Abstract

Migrating to a micro-frontend architecture promises scalability, faster development cycles, and autonomous teams—but the journey is rarely straightforward. Drawing on real-world experiences and insights from my book, this talk explores the practical lessons, challenges, and trade-offs companies encounter when adopting micro-frontends. You’ll learn about strategies for defining clear boundaries, handling inter-team dependencies, evolving your architecture incrementally, and avoiding common pitfalls that can derail projects.
