Microfrontends with Blazor: Welcome to the Party!

Is your monolithic UI a development bottleneck? Learn how microfrontends empower Blazor teams to deploy features independently and accelerate delivery.

Why monolithic frontends create development bottlenecks

Microservice backends enable autonomous teams, but a single monolithic frontend often leads to release train slowdowns and blockers.

Tracing the architectural evolution to microfrontends

Web architecture evolved from classic monoliths to separated frontends and microservice backends, making microfrontends the next logical step for scaling UI development.

Avoiding the hidden monolith with loose coupling

A successful microfrontend architecture uses an app shell with independent modules and avoids strong coupling to prevent creating a distributed monolith with feature overlaps.

Implementing microfrontends with Blazor component libraries

One approach is to use Blazor Razor Component Libraries (RCLs) as modules within a Blazor shell, keeping the entire solution within the C# ecosystem.

#5about 5 minutes

Using a JavaScript shell to host Blazor microfrontends

A hybrid approach uses a JavaScript-based app shell to lazy-load Blazor components, enabling framework flexibility and faster initial startup times.

Demonstrating a modular application with the Piral framework

The Piral framework facilitates a microfrontend architecture by using a feed service to dynamically load and compose independent modules, called pilets, into a cohesive application shell.

Q&A: Best practices and migration strategies

The discussion covers whether Blazor is a best practice, preferred lightweight frameworks like SolidJS, and strategies for migrating a monolith using the Strangler pattern.
