Components at Organisational Scale - Intermediate

Please log in to watch this conference skillscast.

The distributed management of frontend components, from version control to component-level a/b testing to distributed state strategy to scenario-aware component mutation all requires intensive communication between teams; usually resulting in monotonous error-prone maintenance tasks.

One common way organisations attempt to mitigate the communication overhead is to deploy view services that serve HTML to iframes. This embraces a Continuous Deployment strategy and allows for autonomy in individual teams. It tends to result in bloat through duplication, complex inefficient approaches to intra-component communication, poor rendering performance, intensive resource usage on user devices and a high risk of potential security issues resulting from human error and misunderstanding.

During this talk, you will discover another approach, a distributed live build system where a view service serves partial JavaScript bundles in serialised format (which are individual components) to an application server that assembles the components into a React application.
