Medusa

Overview

Medusa is an innovative open-source bidirectional micro-frontend framework that leverages the power of Java, built upon Spring Reactive, RSocket, and Thymeleaf. With Medusa, development teams can create complex user interfaces by breaking them down into smaller, manageable micro-frontends, allowing for easier collaboration and maintenance. This framework significantly minimizes the need for JavaScript in standard use cases while enhancing both developer and user experiences through its bi-directional capabilities.

Medusa works seamlessly in conjunction with Hydra, offering a resilient micro-frontend environment. Whether you're starting a new project or integrating Medusa into an existing application, it provides a quick-start template to streamline your development process and a rich showcase to demonstrate its versatile components.
