Scalability

Lessons From DAZN: Scaling Your Project with Micro-Frontends

What work are you doing today?

I'm VP of Architecture at a company called DAZN. It's similar to Netflix but for live sports mainly and video-on-demand. It's a platform dedicated to sports. We are available in nine countries and we have a ton of devices that we are targeting between consoles, TVs, set top boxes, web browsers and mobile. I had the possibility to build the application and the platform twice so far. The first version was designed for speed to market. The second version is built for scalability. What I'm sharing in my talks is mainly based on this experience that I find quite unique and it's pretty interesting for me talking about scalability, not only for back-end, but also for front-end.

What's the goal of the talk?

My main aim is trying to provide the experience that we went through in the last two years. I know that currently in the JavaScript community, micro-frontends are a hot topic. Also, many people have a lot of misconceptions around that. And you can read a lot of information online but it is not everything right. I'm trying to shed some light on how we approach micro-frontends for an organization that moved from a single page application to this new architecture with different teams that are working in four different locations in Europe and therefore how we scale our projects and how we overcome several challenges in order to release our application on web and TV devices.
