Users spend most of their time interacting with the frontend, and it is through the frontend that an application shapes the user's perception. Investing in a modern frontend has never been more important than before, both for users and from a developer experience approach.
Frontend innovations also affected the overall architecture of our applications. We brought the microservices concept to the front end through micro frontends, and we started adopting the monorepo strategy to help us handle complex architectures with multiple projects. We're reviewing, once again, the server-side rendering concept, and, of course, we cannot forget about multi-platform development.
In this track, we will explore some of these topics and what's next for the frontend modern development world.
