Summary

Module Federation, a technology provided by Webpack, facilitates the federation of modules across different origins at runtime, improving the Micro Frontend Architecture by enabling incremental builds for large applications and reducing build times. Nx supports Module Federation for Angular and React, enhancing the developer experience by adding support for Server-Side Rendering (SSR) in version 15.4, which allows parts of an application to be executed on separate servers. This integration enables independent deployability of application features, optimizing build and deployment processes. With Nx, developers can generate applications for Angular with Module Federation and SSR using specific commands, enabling the caching of builds for faster development cycles. The setup allows for a seamless transition between SSR and Client-Side Rendering (CSR) after the initial page load, with the host server correctly rendering HTML from remote servers, demonstrating the effective cooperation between Module Federation and SSR.
