How does Zephyr Cloud speed up development?
We integrate with bundlers or build tools like Webpack, Rspack and Vite to become a side-effect of your build process to help you with deployment. You can check our Get started guide to find out more about how it works.
Do I need to have Micro-Frontend applications to use Zephyr?
No! You can deploy a standalone application without any micro-frontends implementation. You can see an example documented here on how to use Zephyr with React, Rspack and Nx.
Would your npm plugins affect build?
We only have actions during two phases of a build process: one is before the build starts, the other one is after the build finish. So we won't affect the build process. You can see more about how we manage the deployment and build process in our architecture guide.
Can I use my own cloud provider with Zephyr Cloud?
Yes. You can integrate Zephyr with your existing Cloud provider. Currently we support Cloudflare and Netlify. We are in the process of adding AWS, Azure and more.
You can see a list of supported cloud provider here. If you don't see your cloud provider, or you have specific CI requirement, remember to jump in our Discord server to let us know!
How does Zephyr help with Micro-Frontends?
While we integrate with your current build tools or bundlers, we are also analyzing your remote modules, resolving your remote applications in runtime, and making sure your remote applications and host applications (aka shells) are correctly composed in the browser (if you have implemented Micro-Frontend configuration of course).
How do I connect custom cloud providers with Zephyr?
You can start with this guide Managing Cloud Providers to find out more. If you run into any problems, welcome to jump into our Discord Server and we will help you out. :)
What's the difference between Module Federation 1.0 and Module Federation 2.0?
Module Federation 1.0 is highly focused on Micro-Frontend implementation in Webpack and it sits within Webpack's core repository. Module Federation 2.0 is separated from Webpack repository, offers more extensive capability with dynamic import types, Federation Runtime, Runtime Plugin Systems and more. All of these new capabilities aids support for large scale applications in enterprise. You can read more in the Official Guide of Module Federation.
