Hi Peter! Thanks for your reply! Front-end composition from microservices is an emerging pattern which allows cross-functional teams to independently deploy features (including back-end and front-end). Each team has full responsibility of the feature they release (from back-end to front-end), which gives them full autonomy to release whenever they are ready. It's a pattern used by Netflix, Amazon or Spotify, to name a few.
