Experience
Micro Front-ends
I applied the microservice architecture to front-end micro websites that can be deployed independently but still be used in the main parent website and maintained intercommunication using web components. This implementation allows multiple teams to build a complex website, using different front-end frameworks or libraries if necessary, without causing any collision, given the micro-websites architecture based on independent components.
