Native Federation vs Webpack Module Federation — Which Should You Choose in 2026?

If you're building a Micro-Frontend architecture with Angular in 2026, you've probably asked yourself this question: Should I use Native Federation or Webpack Module Federation? I've used both in real enterprise projects. Here's my honest comparison. What is Module Federation? Module Federation allows multiple separately built applications to share code at runtime.

Webpack Module Federation Webpack Module Federation was introduced in Webpack 5 and became the standard way to build Micro-Frontends in Angular. How it works: javascript// webpack.config.js module.exports = { plugins: [ new ModuleFederationPlugin({ name: 'shell', remotes: { dashboard: 'dashboard@ http://localhost:4202/remoteEntry.js ', }, shared: ['@angular/core', '@angular/common'], }), ], }; Pros: Battle-tested and widely used Large community and documentation Wo
