This blip is not on the current edition of the Radar. If it was on one of the last few editions it is likely that it is still relevant. If the blip is older it might no longer be relevant and our assessment might be different today. Unfortunately, we simply don't have the bandwidth to continuously review blips from previous editions of the Radar Understand more

When teams embrace the concept of micro frontends they have a number of patterns at their disposal to integrate the individual micro frontends into one application. As always there are antipatterns, too. A common one in this case is front-end integration via artifact. For each micro frontend an artifact is built, usually an NPM package, which is pushed into a registry. A later step, sometimes in a different build pipeline, then combines the individual packages into a final package that contains all micro frontends. From a purely technical perspective this integration at build time results in a working application. However, integrating via artifact implies that for each change the full artifact needs to be rebuilt, which is time consuming and will likely have a negative impact on developer experience. Worse, this style of integrating frontends also introduces direct dependencies between the micro frontends at build time and therefore causes considerable coordination overhead.
