This keynote offers a fast-paced, structured journey through the evolving Angular ecosystem - from core reactivity to large-scale architecture.
We begin at the foundation with Signals: why they were introduced, how they simplify reactivity, and why we couldn’t just stay with Observables.
Building on that, we explore Signal-based data fetching using the new httpResource, and how this shift changes the way we structure services and handle side effects.
From there, we move into state management: do Signals already solve it, or is a dedicated library still needed? We’ll explore how these layers fit together and how solutions like the NgRx SignalStore fit into the picture.
Next, we zoom out to an architectural view, exploring modern module types and how to structure scalable applications using standalone APIs and domain boundaries.
Then we turn to Micro Frontends — where they shine, which challenges they pose, and how to choose between Native Federation, Module Federation, and Web Components.
Finally, we discuss Server-Side Rendering (SSR) and related techniques like SSG and Incremental Hydration, and how they can significantly improve initial loading performance — especially in complex frontend-backend integrations.
