Webpack 5 Module Federation
Zack Jackson at CityJS 2020
For years, we have never been able to consume or share modules from another standalone application. The nearest we had was externals or DLL Plugin. Both of which are not scalable or sustainable in large scale systems. For those who have built a micro frontend stack, likely understand the challenges. Introducing Module Federation, a feature that I bought for Webpack 5. It allows us to import code just like you would within a monolith. No overhead, no learning curves, and no real deviation from standard engineering practices. We have built a universal system for developers to consume modules of other applications at runtime. Be it server or client. This architecture has been considered a game-changer to Javascript and will change how we build applications in the future.
