A demo of microfrontends. This demo uses Podium, a microfrontend framework that's made and maintained by FINN.no.

The Layout server has the single responsibility of composing microfrontends. It does so by setting up contracts between it and other microservices. One can start it with the following script:

$ npm run layout

Podlet is Podium's term for microfrontends and each one in this demo is written in Javascript. Snowpack is used for development mode and it bundles for production to EcmaScript Modules (ESM) using ESbuild.

$ npm run podlet

Each podlet shares react dependencies through absolute ESM imports that are cached in the browser. They fetch both react and react-dom from Skypack, thus reducing the bundle size considerably.
