Module Federation: The Multi-Framework "Hydra"

Module Federation can unite micro frontends from different frameworks (e.g., Angular, React) in one app. This is a last resort for migrations or integrating legacy code, not a standard pattern, as it increases complexity and bundle size.
Module Federation lets you combine micro frontends from different frameworks or versions into a single shell application. Think of it as a "Hydra"—a complex, multi-headed beast. It's a necessary evil for gradual migrations or integrating tech stacks after a merger. The footgun: it's an anti-pattern that bloats bundles and adds complexity, so use it only when you have no other choice.
