# 스포티파이(Spotify)의 스쿼드 모델 및 마이크로 프론트엔드 도입

## 매 한 줄
> **"매 Spotify 의 squad/tribe/chapter/guild 모델 — 매 Conway's Law 의 organizational answer to scaling — 매 micro-frontend 의 architectural mirror 의 결과"**. 매 2012 Henrik Kniberg "Spotify Engineering Culture" video 의 popularization, 매 2016 매 Spotify engineers 의 자체 의 "we don't actually do the squad model" 의 admission. 매 2026 의 reality: 매 inspiration 의 source 이지만 매 dogma 의 X.

## 매 핵심

### 매 Squad Model 의 4 layer
- **Squad** — 6-12 명, 매 mini-startup, 매 single feature/product 의 ownership, 매 autonomous (mission, backlog, tech choice).
- **Tribe** — 매 related squads 의 collection (~100 명), 매 product area.
- **Chapter** — 매 cross-squad 의 functional grouping (e.g., 매 frontend chapter, QA chapter).
- **Guild** — 매 voluntary 의 community of interest (e.g., 매 Web Performance guild).

### 매 핵심 원칙
- **Aligned autonomy** — 매 squad 의 자율 BUT 매 company mission 의 alignment.
- **Servant leadership** — 매 chapter lead 의 skill 의 grow, 매 tactic 의 X.
- **Trust over control** — 매 fail-safe environment.
- **Continuous improvement** — 매 retrospective, 매 hack week.

### 매 Micro Frontend 의 connection (Conway's Law)
- 매 squad 의 autonomy → 매 frontend codebase 의 split 의 자연스러운.
- 매 single SPA → 매 multiple independently-deployable frontend.
- **Iframe** (legacy) → **Web Components** → **Module Federation** (Webpack 5+) → **Native ES Modules + Import Maps** (2026).

### 매 Spotify 의 actual practice (post-2016 admission)
- 매 squad model 의 inspiration 매 유지, 매 strict adherence 의 X.
- 매 platform team 의 strong existence.
- 매 "Backstage" (developer portal) 의 internal 의 build → opensource.
- 매 매트릭 매 outcome-driven (DAU, churn) 의 squad mission.

## 💻 패턴

### Pattern 1: Backstage software catalog
```yaml
# catalog-info.yaml — 매 squad 의 ownership 의 declare
apiVersion: backstage.io/v1alpha1
kind: Component
metadata:
  name: now-playing
  annotations:
    github.com/project-slug: spotify/now-playing
spec:
  type: service
  owner: squad-listener-experience
  lifecycle: production
  system: playback
```

### Pattern 2: Module Federation (Webpack 5)
```js
// shell/webpack.config.js
new ModuleFederationPlugin({
  name: 'shell',
  remotes: {
    nowPlaying: 'nowPlaying@https://now-playing.spotify.com/remoteEntry.js',
    playlist: 'playlist@https://playlist.spotify.com/remoteEntry.js',
  },
  shared: { react: { singleton: true }, 'react-dom': { singleton: true } },
});

// shell/App.tsx
const NowPlaying = lazy(() => import('nowPlaying/Player'));
```

### Pattern 3: Import Maps (2026 native)
```html
<script type="importmap">
{
  "imports": {
    "@spotify/now-playing": "https://cdn.spotify.com/now-playing/v3/index.js",
    "@spotify/playlist": "https://cdn.spotify.com/playlist/v2/index.js",
    "react": "https://esm.sh/react@19"
  }
}
</script>
<script type="module">
  import { NowPlaying } from '@spotify/now-playing';
</script>
```

### Pattern 4: Web Components (framework-agnostic)
```ts
class SpotifyPlayer extends HTMLElement {
  connectedCallback() {
    this.attachShadow({ mode: 'open' }).innerHTML = `
      <style>:host { display: block; padding: 1rem; }</style>
      <div>Now playing: ${this.getAttribute('track')}</div>
    `;
  }
}
customElements.define('spotify-player', SpotifyPlayer);
```

```html
<spotify-player track="Song Name"></spotify-player>
```

### Pattern 5: Squad-as-API (clear contract)
```ts
// 매 squad 의 boundary 의 API contract
interface NowPlayingPublicAPI {
  play(trackId: string): Promise<void>;
  pause(): void;
  onTrackChange(cb: (track: Track) => void): () => void;
}

// 매 다른 squad 의 import — 매 internal 의 의존 X
import type { NowPlayingPublicAPI } from '@spotify/now-playing';
```

### Pattern 6: Cross-squad 의 design system shared
```ts
// @spotify/encore (design system) — 매 platform team 의 maintain
import { Button, Card } from '@spotify/encore-web';

// 매 모든 squad 의 사용, 매 visual consistency
```

## 매 결정 기준
| 조직 규모 | 모델 |
|---|---|
| <20 engineers | Single team |
| 20-100 | Squad model 의 lite (squad + chapter) |
| 100-500 | Full squad/tribe/chapter/guild |
| 500+ | Squad + platform team + central governance |
| Frontend split | Module Federation (Webpack) or Import Maps |
| Framework-agnostic | Web Components |

**기본값**: 매 squad-style autonomy + Backstage developer portal + Module Federation / Import Maps + shared design system.

## 🔗 Graph
- 부모: [[Large_Frontend_Projects|Frontend Architecture]]
- 변형: [[스포티파이 자율적 분대 모델 (Spotify Squad)]] (alias)
- 응용: [[Backstage]]
- Adjacent: [[Conway's Law]] · [[Agile]] · [[Module Federation]]

## 🤖 LLM 활용
**언제**: organizational topology 의 review, micro-frontend boundary 의 권고, Module Federation 의 setup boilerplate.
**언제 X**: 매 actual 의 hiring / restructure 의 결정 — 매 leadership.

## ❌ 안티패턴
- **Squad model 의 dogmatic adoption**: 매 Spotify 자체 의 follow 의 X.
- **Micro-frontend without contract**: 매 internal API 의 leak.
- **Shared mutable state across squads**: 매 deployment coupling.
- **Design system 의 fragmentation**: 매 squad 별 의 own button.
- **Iframe 의 legacy 의 over-use**: 매 communication 의 fragile.

## 🧪 검증 / 중복
- Verified (Henrik Kniberg "Spotify Engineering Culture" 2012, Jeremiah Lee "Failed #SquadGoals" 2020, Backstage docs, Module Federation docs 2026).
- 신뢰도 A.
