Piral ·
Easily build a next generation portal application using microfrontends. Piral enables you to create a modular frontend application that is extended at runtime with decoupled modules called pilets leveraging a microfrontend architecture. A pilet can be developed independently and ships with the necessary code, as well as all other relevant assets.
This makes Piral an ideal foundation for a mid-sized to large-scale applications developed by distributed teams.
:zap: A pilet is capable of dynamically extending other pilets or using such extension slots itself.
:zap: A pilet is isolated (developed and handled) and will never destroy your application.
:zap: A pilet can be developed with any technology using a standard IDE.
:zap: A pilet can be updated and published within seconds.
