Unleashing Micro Frontends: A Blueprint for Enterprise Growth
summary
A practical blueprint for migrating a Java Wicket frontend to micro frontends with five concrete steps: choose integration style, pick tools, create microfrontends, orchestrate them, and embed into legacy. Shows a two year migration that keeps backwards compatibility, replaces features incrementally, and preserves session via cookies and headers. Demonstrates Angular application shell loading routes at runtime, Module Federation share config to share Angular and libs, discovery via OSGi bundles, and results like 3,300 generated screens and ~70,000 customer enhancements handled.
