Micro-Frontend Shell Development
Break free from frontend monoliths. Ship independently. Scale your teams.
The Problem
Your frontend has become a monolith. Different teams work on the same codebase, deployments require coordination across the organization, and a bug in one feature can bring down everything.
We fought monoliths on the backend for years and won with microservices. Yet on the frontend, we keep building massive single-page applications where every team commits to the same repo and every feature ships together.
It's time to apply the same principles to your frontend.
The Solution
Independent Deployability
Ship features on your own schedule. No more waiting for the quarterly release train or coordinating deployments across teams.
Clear Ownership
Each team owns their vertical slice: frontend MFE and backend microservice together. The same repo, the same team, the same deployment pipeline.
Technology Flexibility
The architecture supports any framework—React, Vue, Angular, Svelte, SolidJS—though we recommend standardizing where possible.
Team Autonomy
Self-contained teams make their own decisions without blocking on shared code. No more debates about which service owns what functionality.
Fault Isolation
A bug in one MFE doesn't crash the others. Problems stay contained within bounded contexts.
GenAI-Friendly
Smaller, focused codebases are ideal for AI-assisted development. Cleaner context windows, better pattern recognition, faster iteration.
Why Svelte 5 for the Shell
The shell runs on every page load. Size matters.
- Compiles away: Svelte becomes vanilla JavaScript—no framework conflicts with your MFEs regardless of what framework they use.
- Native ES Modules: No Webpack Module Federation required. Standard browser imports that are future-proof.
- Minimal footprint: The shell should be invisible infrastructure. Svelte makes it nearly so.
- Battle-tested: Production deployments in 5 days. Real teams shipping real features.
Discovery Process
Every MFE implementation starts with understanding your current state. Here's what we evaluate together:
Authentication & Authorization
- Current auth provider (OAuth, SAML, custom)
- Token management strategy
- Role-based access requirements
- Cross-MFE auth state sharing
Existing UI Stack
- Current frameworks (React, Vue, Angular, etc.)
- Component libraries in use
- State management patterns
- Build tooling and bundlers
Theming & Design System
- Existing design tokens
- CSS methodology (Tailwind, CSS Modules, etc.)
- Dark/light mode requirements
- Component style isolation needs
CI/CD Pipeline
- Current pipeline platform
- Deployment frequency goals
- Testing automation maturity
- Environment strategy (dev, staging, prod)
Hosting & Infrastructure
- Current hosting platform
- Container orchestration (Kubernetes preferred)
- CDN and edge requirements
- Multi-region considerations
Team Structure
- Number of frontend teams
- Current deployment coordination pain
- Desired autonomy level
- Shared services vs. team ownership
How We Work
Discovery Call
1-hour conversation to understand your architecture, pain points, and goals.
Architecture Assessment
Deep dive into your codebase. We document the current state and propose an MFE migration path.
Shell Development
We build your Svelte 5 MFE shell, configured for your auth, theming, and routing needs.
First MFE
We build a working example or migrate an existing feature to prove the pattern. Your team learns the approach.
Team Enablement
Documentation, training, and handoff. Your teams can create new MFEs independently.
