Scaling teams with Federated Super Apps

on YouTube ↗24m

" summary

Claim: large React Native apps can split into independently built and deployed mini apps so teams ship faster. Uses repack (a webpack-based rewrite of the RN bundling pipeline) and module Federation to produce lazily loaded, signed JavaScript bundles that the host fetches at runtime. Requires a deployment server and an infra team, and typically pays off for organizations with ~70+ front-end engineers. Open-sourced showcase demonstrates wiring, supports monorepos and polyrepos, and shows tradeoffs (native code limits, operational overhead).
