The Problems Micro Frontends Won't Solve That No One Wants to Talk About

Everyone wants to ship more software faster, and following the lead of the MicroServices craze the front-end community has begun to reach for Micro Frontends(MFEs) as a silver bullet solution. MFEs promise large teams the ability to independently ship pieces of applications without code collisions, bug creation, that can be team-agnostic, and with Webpack 5 offering Module Federation, this seems to be the way of the future. But what problems aren't solved by MFEs? There is a large gap in what large complex teams need to ship better software and what MFEs are able to provide ... and that gap is the basis of this talk. We'll discuss what MFEs are, approaches and tools to using this architecture pattern, and discuss the consequences that arise that no on seems to want to talk about.
