I Built a Better MFE Template (Because The Old One Sucked)

So, I've been stuck in MFE hell...

Lately, I've been wrestling with a relic of an MFE architecture at work. We're talking Webpackโ€”yes, Webpackโ€”for a brand new project. I mean, who does that anymore when you've got Webpack-compatible tools like Rsbuild and Rspack that don't make you want to rip your hair out?

The developer experience was an absolute joke. I'm talking minutes just to see a tiny change, and HMR was so broken you couldn't even call it that. It felt like I was back in the Stone Age of .NET Framework 4.0.

To save my sanityโ€”and maybe change the whole team's setupโ€”I started building a demo. And from the ashes of that frustration, this clean, simple, and actually modern MFE template with Rsbuild was born.

It's all on my GitHub here: https://github.com/brokenthorn/module-federation-template-rsbuild-rspack

The README should tell you everything you need to know, so I'm not going to bore you with the details here.

Go have some fun with it. You're welcome. ๐Ÿ˜‰
