Micro Frontends with OpenMFP

In the Platform Mesh

Enables diverse application development across the cloud-edge continuum by allowing service selection without vendor lock-in.
, backend services are dynamically orchestrated, but their user interfaces often remain fragmented, creating disjointed experiences. OpenMFP
OpenMFP
The Open Micro Front End Platform (OpenMFP) brings together micro front ends and APIs into a cohesive platform, allowing teams to contribute components while maintaining their independence.
 addresses this by extending Platform Mesh principles to frontend components, creating a unified interface that evolves automatically with your infrastructure.

How It Works​

  1. Automatic UI Registration: Services expose pre-configured Micro Frontends alongside their APIs.
  2. Dynamic Composition: OpenMFP discovers and aggregates these UI components.
  3. OpenMFP Aggregated Interface: Micro Frontends are embedded into portal framework slots while maintaining isolation.

Key Advantages​

1. Zero-Touch Integration​

New services automatically appear in the portal with functional UI components, aligning frontend updates with backend deployments.

2. Consistent Governance​

Enforce security policies, design systems, and accessibility standards across all Micro Frontends.

3. Context-Aware Composition​

UI components dynamically adapt based on user roles, runtime environment, and service dependencies.

Benefits for Different Stakeholders​

Why This Matters​

Modern cloud platforms face a critical challenge: backend innovation often outpaces frontend integration. OpenMFP resolves this by:

  1. Bridging the UI Gap: Aligning frontend development with backend service delivery.
  2. Preserving Architectural Integrity: Maintaining loose coupling while delivering cohesive experiences.
  3. Future-Proofing Investments: Supporting evolving UI frameworks without platform rewrites.

OpenMFP enables organizations to achieve continuous interface cohesion - the missing link in cloud-native architectures. This approach delivers:

  • Operational Symbiosis: Frontend/backend lifecycle synchronization at enterprise scale.
  • Innovation Amplification: Autonomous teams shipping features that enhance collective capabilities.
  • Experience Sovereignty: Full control over user journeys without sacrificing developer freedom.

In an era where user experience defines competitive advantage, OpenMFP transforms distributed systems management from a technical challenge into a strategic differentiator. Teams innovate freely at the edge while the platform ensures every component strengthens the whole - exactly as cloud-native architecture intended.
