This chapter explains how microservices can be integrated in the web frontend.

• First, this chapter discusses why the web frontend of a microservices architecture should be modularized.

• Single page apps (SPAs) are difficult to modularize.

• ROCA (resource-oriented client architecture) is an approach for web UIs which supports modularization.

• Furthermore, this chapter covers the available options for integration.

• Finally, the benefits and disadvantages of the different integration options are discussed.

This chapter demonstrates how frontend integration can be implemented and for which scenarios this is the best approach.
