What Hacker News says

This looks like a copy of an idea we built a few years ago (https://github.com/tes/compoxure) - still in heavy use at my previous company, along with lots of other folks like Zalando (https://github.com/zalando/tailor). We ended up deciding that with the move to component based front end frameworks (react, storybook etc) that the overhead of this wasn't worth the benefits - every developer needs it running, along with lots of services etc. I'd love to understand what others are thinking about composition on the front end these days. I guess the fact this just got created means that the problem we were trying to solve in 2014 still exists - so perhaps I have my answer?
In Micro frontends with Stacker
I see that many people are asking for examples. Zalando is doing this for couple of years now, you can look at their talk [1] where they describe how they use this pattern + some open source libs for composing those UI components [2] Many other components of this kind of infrastructure are described and linked here [3] [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m32EdvitXy4 [2] https://github.com/zalando/tailor [3] https://www.mosaic9.org/ Also this https://jobs.zalando.com/tech/blog/front-end-micro-services/...
