Building Svelte micro frontends with Podium

A micro frontend is an architectural approach that allows complex applications to be divided into smaller, manageable applications, each maintained by separate teams, enhancing maintainability and scalability for large platforms like Ikea, Upwork, and Spotify. The tutorial demonstrates creating two basic Svelte applications, combining them into a single application using Podium, and emphasizes the need for a basic understanding of Svelte and Node.js. It walks readers through setting up unique identifiers for each application's body element, styling simple messages, and integrating them using Podium by detailing the process of preparing the Svelte apps with manifest files and podlets. The process involves using Express.js to serve the apps and Podium to merge them by fetching and arranging the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript files based on manifest.json files. The guide concludes by underscoring the benefits of micro frontends in streamlining development processes in large organizations by allowing small, independent teams to develop specific functionalities, thus reducing bottlenecks and improving progress.
