Microfrontends is a modern front-end architectural approach, by which web applications are segmented (or decomposed) into smaller self-contained units, allowing for easier management and scalability. You can our introduction article to Microfrontends to understand better this architecture approach. Today we’re going to provide a step-by-step guide to the process of building a real-world application using React and Module Federation.

In iOS, WebSockets enable real-time communication between a client (an iOS app) and a server. Unlike traditional HTTP connections which are stateless, short-lived and request data on demand, WebSockets use a single long-lived connection to send and receive data simultaneously. This significantly reduces response times which is crucial for apps that rely on instant updates and live data to support functions such as chat and multiplayer games.

Let’s start at the very beginning, so it’s clear exactly what we’re talking about here – in Swift, networking is the process of sending and receiving data between an iOS application and a remote server or another device over the internet.

If you’re building for mobile apps, you need Realm in your life. It’s specifically designed for mobile devs and even though it’s available on multiple platforms, it’s typically used to develop iOS apps, using Swift. Built on top of SQLite Realm Swift is a very high-level abstraction layer that simplifies database operations for the developer. Today we’re going to unpack it, with a guide that drills so far down into the subject, it’s practically in Australia.

Core Data enables us to manage the model layer of an Apple application. This layer is a crucial part of our app’s engine room, allowing the pretty bits at the front end to interact with the data and business logic at the back. We love Core Data because it provides a powerful database technology framework, and it’s built on top of the SQLite management system, which requires zero configuration or external storage space.
