vite-plugin-federation VS astro

Today, we'll delve into Module Federation using the Vite Plugin, an excellent tool created by Originjs to develop micro-frontend applications with Vite.

In my most recent project, I needed to build an application with micro-frontends. Starting my research in this area, I found that the Vite plugin for supporting Module Federation is not stable. In particular, I faced an issue that is still open, raising doubts about its usage. Meanwhile, create-react-app works with Module Federation without any issues. I had to make this difficult decision back then, endure the slow webpack build in favor of stability. 😓

Vite is largely modular in that a basic installation will not have the features you want but there seems to be a plugin for everything. As far as module federation goes there is this plugin to support it I haven’t used it personally but I’ve also not had any issues with any of the plugins I’ve used. Seems to be fairly solid. You can continue to use webpack if you prefer. Vue 3 will work either way. I just started using vite because the initial setup and configuration was cleaner and easier to use in my opinion.

It looks like there is a plugin for that. https://github.com/originjs/vite-plugin-federation

Astro

Case study 4: Astro

Astro is the new hot new web framework on the block. All the cool kids are using it. I've recently given up, drank the Kool-Aid, and gone all in on it.

Built with Supabase, Astro, Unreal Speech, Stable Diffusion, Replicate, Metropolitan Museum of Art

Astro to use every framework at once instead of just react? https://astro.build/

Depending on the stack of the repository you are cloning, you might have to install additional dependencies. For this demo, I'm using my own website, which is a static website built with Astro.js. It which requires to have Node.js installed and Yarn for package manager.

Maybe a bit too elaborate for your taste, but I've used https://astro.build/ and loved every bit of it.

Astro is an open-source JavaScript framework known for its versatility, performance, and new approach to web development. It enables developers to create fast, modern, content-rich web applications and sites using the "Bring Your Own Framework" (BYOF) model.

Astro was always on my list of things to learn. I've been using Remix and NextJS for a while, and I was interested in trying out a new framework. I decided it would be a good opportunity to build the site with it. This decision turned out to be a great one, as it saved me a lot of money on hosting costs later on.
