=============

OpenComponents, **serverless in the front-end world**.

OpenComponents is an open-source framework that allows fast-moving teams to easily build and deploy front-end components. It abstracts away complicated infrastructure and leaves developers with very simple, but powerful building blocks that handle scale transparently.

#### How does it work?

First, **you create your component**. It can contain logic to get some data (using node.js) and then the view, including css and js. It can be what you want, including *React* or *Angular* components or whatever you like.

Then, **you publish it** to the OpenComponents registry and you wait a couple of seconds while the registry prepares your stuff to be production-ready.

Now, every web app in your private or public network can **consume the component** via its own HTTP endpoint during server-side rendering or just in the browser.

We have been using for more than a year in production at OpenTable, for shared components, third party widgets, and more. [Learn more about OC](http://tech.opentable.co.uk/blog/2016/04/27/opencomponents-microservices-in-the-front-end-world/).
