B2B Portal Architecture
Designed a micro-frontend architecture for a multi-product B2B commerce portal
Challenge
A telecommunications enterprise needed a unified B2B commerce portal across multiple product lines, each with its own legacy frontend. Teams were blocked by shared codebases, conflicting release schedules, and a growing maintenance burden.
Solution
Designed a micro-frontend architecture using Angular module federation, where each product line owned its domain-specific frontend. A shared shell application handled authentication, navigation, and cross-cutting concerns. Defined integration contracts and API gateways to decouple frontend from backend services.
Architecture
- Micro-frontend shell with Angular Module Federation
- Shared design system web components for visual consistency
- API gateway layer for backend decoupling
- Event-driven cross-micro-frontend communication
- Centralized auth (OAuth2 / OpenID Connect) with SSO
Impact
- Enabled 4 product teams to deploy independently
- Reduced cross-team coordination overhead by 70%
- Standardized frontend architecture across the organization
- Decreased onboarding time for new developers from 4 weeks to 1 week
