What is Microfrontend??

Microfrontends is an architectural pattern that involves breaking down a monolithic frontend application into smaller, independently deployable modules or "microfrontends." Each microfrontend is responsible for a specific feature or set of features and can be developed, tested, and deployed independently of the other microfrontends.

This approach allows for more flexibility and scalability in the development process, as well as increased reusability of code. It also enables teams to work on different features in parallel and reduces the risk of conflicts and regressions.

Microfrontends can be implemented in a variety of ways, such as using iframes, web components, or server-side rendering. They can also be integrated with different technologies and frameworks, such as React, Angular, Vue, or Polymer.

The main disadvantage of this approach is that it can be complex to implement and test, and it can require a significant amount of coordination between teams. Also, the communication between microfrontends can be a bottleneck, and it can lead to issues with performance and security.
