MICRO FRONTENDS: WHEN THEY MAKE SENSE AND WHEN THEY DON'T
Summary from the TLDR Dev newsletter
Micro frontends are really an org problem disguised as a tech problem — the actual win is letting teams own their vertical slice end-to-end without coordinating deployments. However, the complexity cost (separate CI, dependency versioning hell, and consistency overhead) isn't worth it unless you have 5+ teams actively stepping on each other. For most teams, a well-structured monorepo gets you 90% of the benefit with none of the pain.
