Building vertical microfrontends on Cloudflare's platform

Vertical Microfrontends (VMFE) offer a new architectural approach allowing independent teams to completely own and manage specific paths within a web application, such as marketing, documentation, or dashboards, using Cloudflare Workers. This model supports various frameworks and CI/CD pipelines, enabling teams to work autonomously and deploy at their own pace while maintaining a cohesive user experience. Unlike horizontal microfrontends, which distribute parts of a single page across different services, vertical microfrontends divide an application by URL path, empowering teams with full control over their domain’s functionality. This ensures isolated code bases for different sections, preventing regressions caused by changes from other teams, and allows for seamless user transitions between independently managed sections using techniques like CSS View Transitions. The approach helps overcome challenges related to shared code bases and diverse framework requirements, offering users a unified experience despite underlying technical diversities.
