What is Webpack Module Federation?
- AA runtime mechanism that lets separately built and deployed apps share code with one another
- BA build-time plugin that merges every one of the apps into one single bundle compiled together
- CA CSS methodology for sharing design tokens across many independently styled applications today
- DA server-side proxy that stitches the HTML fragments from each app into one combined response
Why this is the answer
Module Federation is a runtime mechanism that lets separately built and deployed apps share code with one another. It is not a build-time merge into one bundle (the opposite), not a CSS token methodology, and not a server-side fragment proxy.
