Dependency Sharing - Native Federation Under the Hood
by Auke van Oostenbrugge

When using native-federation, you expect the runtime to always choose the most efficient combination of shared dependencies without breaking your decentralized app in the browser. But how does the runtime know what version of each dependency to choose? And does "the best combination" exists? What levers can you pull to optimize your micro frontend architecture? In this presentation I'll provide a small peek under the hood and show the negotiation process that native-federation goes through to make sure your web application will perform.

Build Performance, Native Federation Under the Hood

Micro frontends live or die by their runtime, but the place developers actually spend their day is the inner loop: that wait after hitting save. So what happens between saving a file and seeing the change in the browser? Why was that wait several seconds long, and how did Native Federation v4 turn it into near‑instant feedback? In this talk I'll open up the build side of native‑federation: the steps it runs on every change, what v4 now skips, and what it caches to avoid redoing work. I'll back it with real numbers from migrating a production micro frontend to v4, where warm rebuilds dropped by roughly 92% (about 12× faster)

Seeing the Negotiation: DevTools for Native Federation
by Lutz Leonhardt

Native Federation resolves shared dependencies at startup: it negotiates the declarations of every remote down to a set of actual downloads and writes the result into an import map. It's a lot of work done for you — and once the page has booted, the reasoning behind it isn't easy to reconstruct.

This talk introduces a read-only Chrome DevTools extension that reads the negotiation back out of a running application: which versions were shared, scoped or skipped, who provides each mapped file, and which chunks sit behind it. We'll walk through real cases — a strict share scope, a version split across remotes, and a host running Angular, React and Svelte side by side — and see exactly what the resolver decided, and why.
