#Package Collaboration / Module Decoupling

Enable independent development and runtime collaboration across packages via module linking.

#Micro Frontends

Architecture that supports independent development and integration across multiple teams.

#Remote Application/Module

Sub-app or module loaded dynamically by the host.
