Micro Frontend Architecture for Enhanced Energy Management Application

The client faces challenges in delivering a responsive, maintainable, and scalable mobile application for submitting meter readings and managing energy services. Current monolithic UI structures hinder rapid updates, performance optimization, and independent development workflows across teams. They require a flexible architecture to adapt quickly to market changes, improve application performance, and streamline development processes.

A large energy utility provider seeking to improve its customer-facing digital platforms through modular and scalable frontend architecture.

• Implement a modular micro frontend architecture to decouple UI components for the energy management mobile application.
• Reduce application size and improve performance to deliver a smoother user experience.
• Enable independent development, testing, and deployment of different application modules to accelerate updates such as tariff changes.
• Provide a scalable solution compatible with React Native and modern web frameworks.
• Facilitate cross-team collaboration and faster iteration cycles on platform features.

• Modularized frontend components that can be developed, tested, and deployed independently.
• Use of Module Federation and component sharing techniques to integrate separate micro frontends into a unified mobile application.
• Support for dynamic loading of modules to optimize initial load times and responsiveness.
• Workshop or knowledge-sharing sessions with micro frontend tooling maintainers to ensure best practices.
• Integration with existing backend systems for real-time energy data and meter readings.

• Backend energy management systems for meter data retrieval
• Authentication and authorization services
• Deployment pipelines and CI/CD tools for independent module updates

• Application startup time optimized through module lazy loading.
• System must support concurrent development by multiple teams without integration conflicts.
• Micro frontend deployment must support independent releases and hotfixes.
• Security protocols to safeguard user data and communication channels.

By implementing a micro frontend architecture, the project aims to accelerate tariff and feature updates, enhance application performance, and streamline development workflows. Expected outcomes include faster deployment cycles, improved user experience, and scalable platform growth, leading to better customer satisfaction and operational agility in the energy sector.
