Micro-frontends with Astro Islands
Building scalable architecture with independent component islands.
Micro-frontends allow large teams to work independently on different parts of a web application. Astro’s Island Architecture is the perfect foundation for this approach.
The Island Model
Imagine your page as a static ocean with interactive islands floating in it. Each island can be:
- Built with a different framework (React, Vue, Svelte).
- Loaded independently.
- Hydrated only when visible.
This isolation means a bug in one widget doesn’t crash the whole page, and performance remains high because users only download the code for the islands they interact with.
