Microfrontends in the Monorepo
Great combination or a contradiction in terms?
Microfrontends, each usually placed in its own repository, can find a home together in a monorepo. Monorepos simplify tasks that arise around microfrontends, but have a few intentional limitations. In order for them to scale, specialized processes and tools are necessary.

TypeScript versus JS++: JavaScript typing done right!
Roger Poon started JS++ eight years ago with a deep understanding of corner cases that he doesn’t believe the TypeScript team can rival.

Let’s have a closer look at it!
