The Cloudflare outage was a good thing

Cloudflare, the CDN provider, suffered a massive outage today. Some of the world's most popular apps and web services were left inaccessible for serveral hours whilst the Cloudflare team scrambled to fix a whole swathe of the internet.

And that might be a good thing.

The proximate cause of the outage was pretty mundane: a bad config file triggered a latent bug in one of Cloudflare's services. The file was too large (details still hazy) and this led to a cascading failure across Cloudflare operations. Probably there is some useful post-morteming about canary releases and staged rollouts.

My rough structure for tech design documents

There are as many ways to write an RFC, tech design, proposal doc, as there are ways to skin a cat. Here's the structure I'm currently using.

It looks a bit heavyweight, but it's possible to skip or collapse sections in less formal environments. But it's still useful as a framework for thinking through the proposal

Sections

Nano-Frontends

Abstract

Micro-frontends are a strategy for splitting user interfaces up into separately deployable units. This gives teams great latitude to choose their own technologies and think in terms of self-contained programs. However, the "per page frontend" approach has disadvantages: pages cannot be shared by teams; sub-frontends are hard to modal-ise; and the user must download and execute duplicate JavaScript. Nano-frontends are an alternative that give teams similar freedoms but provide opt-in optimisations to improve user experience.

Give me the gist

Write your frontends as libraries that take a) a DOM element to render in and b) a set of common dependencies to call (e.g. React). Then allow a scaffold app to render the entire thing and inject the dependencies. Libraries can be published by writing artefacts to S3 and then monitoring for changes using SNS/SQS.

What does a 'dependency injected' frontend look like?
