Micro Frontend

Noun · Development

Definitions

  1. An architectural pattern that decomposes a web frontend into independently developed, deployed, and loaded feature slices — each owned by a separate team — which are composed at runtime into a single user-facing application.

    In plain English: Breaking a website's interface into small, independent pieces that different teams can build and update separately.

    Example: "The billing dashboard is a micro frontend owned by the payments team; they ship it on their own release cadence."
