What is the primary challenge with micro-frontend architecture when using React, and how is it typically addressed?

Accepted Answer

When using micro-frontend architecture with React, the primary challenge is dealing with multiple React instances and shared dependencies that can lead to version conflicts and increased bundle size. This is typically addressed by implementing module federation (Webpack 5 Module Federation) or single-spa to share a single React instance among micro-frontends.
