Does Module Federation 2.0 work with Vite?

Yes. The 2.0 release decouples from webpack entirely and now supports Vite, Rspack, Rollup, and six other bundlers. You don't need webpack to use Module Federation anymore.

Will Module Federation replace monorepos?

Not necessarily. Monorepos work fine for teams that deploy together. Module Federation is best for organizations with independent deployment cycles across multiple applications—a different architectural problem.

Do I lose TypeScript types when using federated modules?

Not in 2.0. The release includes dynamic TypeScript type hints that load automatically at development time, so you get the same type safety as local imports.
