Fate-sharing and micro-frontends

This technical article discusses the principle of fate-sharing in software design, where a failure in one part can break the whole system. It explains why this is problematic for large-scale frontend development and how micro-frontends (MFEs) emerged as a solution, analogous to backend microservices. The article details the performance costs of current MFE implementations, such as increased JavaScript payloads and the loss of build-time optimizations, analyzing the trade-offs between independent deployment and user experience.
