How Microfrontends Work: From iframes to Module Federation
Microfrontends enable teams to build and deploy frontend applications independently at scale, moving from monolithic UIs to decoupled codebases. Traditional approaches include server-side composition, iframes, and build-time integration through packages. Module Federation represents the modern solution, allowing runtime integration of remote UI components while sharing dependencies for optimal performance. The article compares different microfrontend patterns, highlighting Module Federation's advantages in independent deployments and performance, while acknowledging setup complexity and operational challenges like cross-domain issues and styling conflicts.

How DNS Works: A Guide to Understanding the Internet's Address Book
The Domain Name System (DNS) translates domain names into IP addresses, enabling easy access to websites. It involves DNS resolution, which efficiently processes queries through caching and servers like root, TLD, and authoritative name servers. Users can configure their DNS settings manually or rely on defaults and DHCP. The internet relies on a hierarchical DNS system, which has evolved for scalability and reliability. Domain registrars play a crucial role in managing domain registration and DNS setup.

Top Ways Hackers Exploit Web Applications (and How to Prevent Them)
Web applications, particularly those with user input, are susceptible to attacks like SQL injection, XSS, CSRF, and weak authentication. Developers can mitigate these risks by employing prepared statements for databases, escaping user inputs in HTML, using CSRF tokens, and enforcing strong authentication measures. Regularly updating libraries and ensuring secure configurations are crucial for protecting against vulnerabilities.
