 ### Module federation implementation experiments

-> NOTE Share outcome of testing mixing multiple tools for module federation.
-
 Test should consist of trying to run permutations of webpack/Rspack/vite based shell apps/plugins and discover if we can freely choose any tool, or if we should restrict the tooling to just a subset of the available options.

+The outcome of initial testing is positive and it is possible to mix and match different build tools and consume different remote modules in a single shell application.
+
+The experimental code can be found in [this repository](https://github.com/scalprum/mf-mixing-experiments).
+
+**The testing so far was done only on very simple modules**. Although core React features are working (Context API and hooks), more testings needs to be done in order to declare this approach 100% reliable.
+
+So far a lot of custom code needs to be written to bridge Webpack, Rspack, @module-federation/enhanced with Vite. The first three are compatible out of the box, but Vite requires extra bridge to be able to consume/provide modules with/to other builds.

 ### Plugin manifest

 Each plugin should have a manifest file with important metadata. This metadata is used to load the remote assets to browser. The plugin manifest should be part of a build output.
