What are the benefits of using micro-frontends?

The benefits include improved scalability, independent deployment, and the ability to use different technologies for different parts of your application.

Are there any challenges I should be aware of?

Yes, challenges include increased complexity in managing multiple deployments, potential performance issues, and the need for a robust communication strategy between micro-frontends.

How do I handle communication between micro-frontends?

You can use various methods like event-driven architecture, shared state management, or APIs to facilitate communication between micro-frontends.

Can you give me examples of tools that support micro-frontends?

Sure! Some popular tools include Single-SPA, Module Federation in Webpack, and FrintJS.
