Module Federation vs. Centralized Updates With Zack Chapple & Adam Mruk

Is OTA just a "fire extinguisher" for critical bugs, or is it the key to decentralized, full-stack deployment?In this micro-panel from React Universe Conf 2025, Adam Mruk (Klarna) explains his team's approach: OTA is not for CI/CD, but for fires. They use a centralized process to ship only diffs for hotfixes.

Zackary Chapple (Zephyr Cloud) presents the case for Module Federation as a powerful OTA pattern. He explains how it's used across the entire stack (web, BFF, native), allowing teams to deploy independently. They debate the core trade-off: is the velocity of decentralized teams worth the complexity of distributed versioning?
