THE ILLUSION OF FRONTEND: WHY SCALING IS MORE COMPLEX THAN IT APPEARS
Abstract
This article examines the reasons why scaling frontend projects is a more complex task than it appears at the early stages of development. It analyzes architectural and organizational factors that influence the growth of complexity in user interfaces, including architectural choices, the expansion of the codebase, and team collaboration. Particular attention is given to monolithic and microfrontend approaches, as well as to the role of processes and tools in ensuring the sustainable evolution of frontend systems.
