BrightDigit #79 - Building in Smaller Pieces 🧩

Rather than building a monolithic app, you can break down the functionality into lightweight modules. Microapps are a way of organizing that.

Issue #79

Hello everyone,

I’ve been continuing my work on Bushel lately and using the latest technologies from this year’s WWDC. As you may know I like breaking my codebase into smaller pieces. This is where a concept I’ve learned from Majid Jabrayilov and Gio Lodi comes in -Microapps.

Rather than building a monolithic app, you can break down the functionality into lightweight modules. Microapps are a way of organizing that.

In the latest article we talk about the benefits, both business and technical, of microapp architecture and how to decide whether it might be a good choice for your development needs.

The biggest and most obvious benefit of microapps is that when your entire app is broken down into single-function parts, building each part, testing it, and adjusting it as needed can be done very rapidly.

…

This also makes microapp architecture a good choice if you’re developing an app that:

  • Requires a lot of small, discrete tasks embedded in the UI.
  • You plan to scale or add lots of additional functionality over its lifecycle.

If you are looking for a way to better organize your apps, you’ll want to check this article out.
