The Frontend engineering landscape has evolved significantly, leading to increased complexity and higher user expectations. The rapid development of new tools, libraries, and frameworks fosters innovation, but it has also led to choice overload and placed a higher burden on developers to keep up. Architectural decisions and patterns that enable developers to ship faster and produce higher-quality user experiences have never been more important.

With that in mind, our group focuses on the following:

• Frontend architecture, which involves the structured design and organization of a web application’s UI (user interface), incorporating frameworks, design patterns, rendering patterns and state management, in a way that best fits the requirements and achieves architecture characteristics like performance, security, scalability, maintainability, etc.
• Frontend infrastructure, which encompasses build tools and bundlers, development servers, package managers, security and performance monitoring tools, and integration into CI/CD pipelines.

If implemented successfully, together they can ensure that a web application has the best of both worlds: developer experience (DX) with faster builds, easy setup and fast feedback cycles, and user experience (UX) with seamless interactions and increased performance. Our aim is to provide useful practical insights and formalize best practices in this domain, with a security focused mindset.

We can help you with:

• Defining the architecture of frontend systems: establish patterns for user interfaces (component design system), state management, rendering, client-server interactions, and maximum type safety
• Making platform-wide changes and creating clear migration paths to modern frameworks
• Empowering product teams with essential knowledge related to new frontend infrastructure tools that can deliver better performance and developer experience
• Increasing development velocity by enabling different product teams to easily share code, reduce duplication, use consistent tooling and better manage dependencies
• Enhancing client-side performance and boosting Core Web Vitals metrics for web applications.
