Creating micro-frontends with Piral

Piral is a framework designed to facilitate the creation of ultra-scalable web applications using micro-frontends, emphasizing loose coupling and domain-specific components. The framework was introduced as a solution to address the challenges faced by other micro-frontend frameworks in scaling real-world applications. Piral includes a discovery mechanism, an integrated developer experience, and support for cross-framework components, allowing teams to focus on specific domain problems without requiring frequent alignment or joint releases. The framework uses a modular approach where individual components, or pilets, are developed and registered independently, often using a feed service for discovery and integration. Piral enables developers to build a scalable app shell that can incorporate multiple pilets, offering flexibility in project setup and lazy loading of components to enhance performance. The framework supports shared dependencies, such as SWR for HTTP requests, to optimize resource usage and performance across micro-frontends, providing a robust solution for distributing web applications across various teams and repositories.
