Vercel Microfrontends
Split a large application into independently deployable units that render as one cohesive app. Vercel handles routing on its global network using microfrontends.json.
Core concepts: default app (has microfrontends.json, serves unmatched requests) · child apps (have routing path patterns) · asset prefix (prevents static-asset collisions) · independent deployments.
Frameworks: Next.js (App Router + Pages Router), SvelteKit, React Router, Vite — all via @vercel/microfrontends.
CLI: microfrontends proxy (local dev proxy) · microfrontends port (print auto-assigned port).
Finding Detailed Information
This skill includes detailed reference docs in the references/ directory. Do not read all references upfront. Instead, search or grep the relevant file when the user asks about a specific topic:
| Topic | Reference file |
|---|---|
Getting started, quickstart, framework setup, microfrontends.json schema, fields, naming, examples |
references/configuration.md |
| Path expressions, asset prefixes, flag-controlled routing, middleware | references/path-routing.md |
| Local proxy setup, polyrepo config, Turborepo, ports, deployment protection | references/local-development.md |
| Adding/removing projects, fallback environments, navigation, observability | references/managing-microfrontends.md |
Testing utilities (validateMiddlewareConfig, validateRouting, etc.), debug headers, common issues |
references/troubleshooting.md |
| Deployment protection, Vercel Firewall, WAF rules for microfrontends | references/security.md |
When the user asks about a specific topic, use grep or search over the relevant reference file to find the answer without loading all references into context.
