Microdosing JS errors: Why we got rid of Microfrontends
About the event
Hi everyone,
following the summer break, we'll start into autumn with a talk from the trenches: Marita and Felix from Rail Cargo Group will talk about the challenges they faced with a microfrontends architecture and the path they chose going forward.
We'll open doors at 17:30 and start the talk at 18:00. Space is limited, so please register if you plan to come. This time, the location is provided by Rail Cargo Group and OEBB.
See you there! Fabian & Gottfried

The talk: Monorepos promise speed, autonomy, and happiness. We believed them.
With NX, Module Federation, and split deployments, every team could ship independently, at least in theory. What we got instead: 40-minute CI builds, 4-minute local builds, thousands of duplicated assets, broken security fixes, and a lot of "works on my machine".
In this talk: why we consolidated to one UI, one build, one shared release. The architect on why technical autonomy without organizational alignment breaks down. The Ops engineer on how builds went from 40 minutes to 1: mostly deleting things, plus some optimization.
