Abstract: [Context] The adoption of micro-frontends architectures has gained traction as a promising approach to enhance modularity, scalability, and maintainability of web applications. [Goal] The primary aim of this research is to investigate the benefits and limitations of migrating a real-world application to a micro-frontends architecture from the perspective of the developers. [Method] Based on the action research approach, after diagnosis and planning, we applied an intervention of migrating the target web application to a micro-frontends architecture. Thereafter, the migration was evaluated in a workshop involving the remaining developers responsible for maintaining the application. During the workshop, these developers were presented with the migrated architecture, conducted a simple maintenance task, discussed benefits and limitations in a focus group to gather insights, and answered a questionnaire on the acceptance of the technology. [Results] Developers' perceptions gathered during the focus group reinforce the benefits and limitations reported in the literature. Key benefits included enhanced flexibility in technology choices, scalability of development teams, and gradual migration of technologies. However, the increased complexity of the architecture raised concerns among developers, particularly in dependency and environment management, debugging, and integration testing. [Conclusions] While micro-frontends represent a promising technology, unresolved issues still limit their broader applicability. Developers generally perceived the architecture as useful and moderately easy to use but hesitated to adopt it.

We focus on two key aspects: backbone models for feature extraction and end-to-end system architectures for relevance estimation. We trace the development from traditional term-based methods to modern neural approaches, particularly highlighting the impact of transformer-based models and subsequent large language models (LLMs) We conclude by discussing emerging challenges and future directions, including architectural optimizations for performance and scalability, handling of multimodal, multilingual data, and adaptation to novel application domains beyond traditional search paradigms.

As migrating applications into the cloud is universally adopted by the software industry, have proven to be the most suitable and widely accepted architecture pattern for applications deployed on distributed cloud. Their efficacy is enabled by both technical benefits like reliability, fault isolation, scalability and productivity benefits like ease of asset maintenance and clear ownership boundaries. In some cases, the complexity of migrating an existing application into the architecture becomes overwhelmingly complex and expensive.
