Modernizing Federated Modules: Migrating to Vite Without Breaking Host Compatibility

As federated module architectures become more complex, migrating from Webpack to Vite without breaking existing host dependencies presents a significant technical challenge. This guide directly addresses that problem by showing how to preserve the runtime contract during migration, allowing teams to modernize their build tooling independently. For organizations with distributed micro-frontend systems, this represents a crucial path to reducing technical debt without requiring coordination across multiple applications.
