Shipping UX, Not the Org Chart

Fastly’s frontend teams were moving fast — but users felt the seams. In her JSConf talk, Bekah Suttner Cheek, Sr. Software Engineer at Fastly, shares why we chose microfrontends, how we built our system on Fastly Compute, and how to decide if microfrontends are right for you.

I’m in love with @sarah_edo’s hand-drawn illustrations in her #jsconf slides 😍

Great talk too, I dig the high-level overview of how different platforms do UI, that’s exactly the kind of cross-pollination we need to design better APIs for the Web.

✈️ Flying Southwest for my 1st time and so far it’s been like a Windows progress bar:
Boarding at 3:20!
Oops, it’s actually 6:48!
Oh nvm, it's 3:55

In other news, if you’re also going to #JSConf, looking forward to seeing you!

Come say hi, even if we haven’t met before! 👋🏼

Heading back to #Jsconf this year!
Hoping to catch up with a bunch of old friends.

oh yasss, this is really good news. confs have become mostly thinly veiled vendor pitches these days so its really welcome to hear @openjsf is taking on stewardship of THE conf that really jumpstarted the JS community we have today
