Explain Webpack Module Federation and its role in micro frontend architecture.

What are the main integration strategies for micro frontends and when would you use each?

How do you handle shared state management across micro frontends?

What strategies do you use to manage shared dependencies and avoid version conflicts in micro frontends?

How do you implement routing in a micro frontend architecture with multiple independent applications?

What are the performance implications of micro frontends and how do you optimize them?

How do you handle styling and CSS isolation in micro frontends to prevent conflicts?

Explain the deployment and versioning strategies for micro frontends in production environments.

What testing strategies and challenges are unique to micro frontend architectures?

Data Structures and Algorithms

How would you implement an LRU (Least Recently Used) cache in JavaScript with O(1) time complexity for both get and put operations?

Explain the sliding window technique and provide an example of finding the maximum sum of a subarray of size k.

How do you find all pairs in an array that sum to a target value? What is the optimal approach?

What is a Trie data structure and what are its primary use cases in micro frontend applications?

Implement a debounce function from scratch and explain its time complexity implications.

How would you implement a deep clone function that handles circular references?

Explain the difference between a Stack and a Queue, and provide a scenario in micro frontends where each would be optimal.

What is memoization and how would you implement a generic memoization function for expensive computations?

How do you detect a cycle in a linked list? Explain Floyd's Cycle Detection Algorithm.

Implement a function to find the kth largest element in an unsorted array. What are the different approaches and their trade-offs?

System Design

How would you design a micro frontend architecture for a large-scale e-commerce platform with multiple teams working independently?

Design a micro frontend system that needs to handle authentication and authorization across multiple independently deployed frontend applications. How would you implement this?

How would you design the communication layer between micro frontends to ensure loose coupling while maintaining data consistency?

Design a micro frontend system that supports multiple frameworks (React, Vue, Angular) running simultaneously. What challenges would you face and how would you solve them?

How would you implement a shared component library across micro frontends while maintaining independent deployments and avoiding version conflicts?

Design a micro frontend architecture that handles real-time data synchronization across multiple MFEs (e.g., live notifications, collaborative editing). How would you ensure consistency and performance?

How would you design error handling and monitoring in a micro frontend architecture where failures in one MFE shouldn't crash the entire application?

Design a deployment strategy for micro frontends that supports zero-downtime deployments, A/B testing, and canary releases. How would you handle rollbacks?

How would you design a micro frontend system to optimize performance, especially regarding bundle size, loading time, and runtime efficiency?

Coding and Debugging

How would you implement a micro frontend router that dynamically loads and mounts different applications based on URL paths?

Write a function to share state between micro frontends without creating tight coupling. How would you debug state synchronization issues?

How do you handle CSS isolation in micro frontends? Write code to prevent style leakage between applications.

Debug a scenario where multiple micro frontends are causing memory leaks. What tools and techniques would you use?

Implement a module federation error boundary that catches failures in remotely loaded micro frontends and provides fallback UI.

How would you implement cross-micro-frontend communication using a custom event bus? Include debugging capabilities.

Write a utility function to detect and resolve version conflicts when multiple micro frontends load different versions of shared dependencies.

How do you profile and optimize the initial load time of a micro frontend shell application? Provide specific techniques and code examples.

Implement a monkey patching solution to intercept and modify fetch calls across all micro frontends for centralized authentication token injection.
