Summary

Bit components are designed as self-sufficient modules that can be consumed either during build time or runtime, offering flexibility for developers based on project needs. At build time, Bit components generate a standard node package and undergo a build pipeline that includes testing and linting, with auto-tagging to ensure updated dependencies. For runtime consumption, developers can convert components into "app components" to deploy them to a remote server, enabling consumption over-the-wire and allowing for rapid updates. This approach, while facilitating quick changes, may complicate the preservation of integration states for rollbacks. Developers can utilize methods like module federation and single-spa for runtime integration, with the choice between build-time and runtime consumption hinging on factors such as deployment speed, maintenance ease, and the necessity to maintain past states. Through this flexibility, Bit components provide a robust solution for integrating and managing components, empowering developers to tailor their approach according to specific project requirements.
