  Microfrontend vs Monofrontend vs Submodules: A Practical Guide with npm and pnpm By Jyothsna Dannana Introduction As frontend applications grow, managing a single codebase becomes increasingly difficult. Build times become longer, deployments feel risky, and teams start depending on each other for even small changes. Choosing the right frontend architecture is critical for building scalable, maintainable, and high-performance applications. In this blog, we will explore three important frontend architecture approaches: Monofrontend Microfrontend Submodules (Shared Libraries) npm vs pnpm setup We will also understand how npm and pnpm help manage these architectures effectively. What Is Monofrontend Architecture? A Monofrontend is a traditional frontend architecture where the entire application is built as a single unit. All features, pages, components, and business logic live in one repository and are deployed together. In this approach, the frontend behaves as one...

SSR vs SSG vs RSC: A Practical Guide to Modern Web Rendering

💭Introduction Modern web applications are no longer judged only by how they look, but by how fast they load, how well they rank on search engines, and how smooth the user experience feels. As frontend developers, we often hear terms like SSR, SSG, and RSC, especially when working with frameworks like React, Next.js, or Angular Universal. However, these concepts are frequently misunderstood or used interchangeably—even though they solve very different problems. In this blog, we’ll explore Server-Side Rendering (SSR), Static Site Generation (SSG), and React Server Components (RSC) from a practical, real-world perspective. Instead of focusing on theory alone, we’ll understand why they exist, how they work internally, and when to use each one. The Core Problem: How Is a Web Page Rendered? Traditionally, many web applications relied on Client-Side Rendering (CSR). In CSR : The browser downloads a minimal HTML file JavaScript loads JavaScript fetches data UI is rendered This causes: Blank s...
