A primer on what a micro frontend discovery service is and how the Piral Cloud Feed Service helps you.

Ever wondered how modular frontend solutions can be orchestrated in an efficient and highly flexible way? Then the Piral Feed Service is what you are looking for.

Introduction

With its powerful capabilities the Piral Feed Service simplifies the process of creating and managing solutions based on the micro frontend architecture pattern. Developers and WebOps teams will benefit from feed management, module discovery, feature flags, module versioning, joint collaboration, and many more.

Independent from the used frontend framework, the Piral Feed Service organizes the developed micro frontends in a centralized feed repository, which builds the basis for discovering and distributing the individual frontend components within an organization or community.

This makes the Piral Feed Service a feature rich tool for building modern web applications that deliver a dynamic and compelling user experience.

The Piral Feed Service is part of the Piral Cloud, which is a WebOps platform for building modular and scalable web applications.

Feature Flags

Faced with a large-scale web application and want to deliver an inspiring user experience tailored to specific needs? - Then the feature flag support of the Piral Cloud services should be your choice.

It will enable you to toggle individual functionality without deploying a new version of the application or rolling out configuration changes.

The support of feature flags with the Piral Feed Service is based on the extendable rule engine, which will not only simplify the release management for a micro frontend application but can also be leveraged for a wide range of usage scenarios where flexible and fine-grained control of functionality is of importance.
