Deprecate Frontends that have been replaced by MFEs

[jmakowski1123]

Abstract

This deprecation work is being undertaken as part of a General Deprecation project funded by tCRIL to expedite a backlog of deprecation debt. The goal of this project is to finish the removal of several unfinished deprecation tickets that we have not been able to complete ourselves due to time constraints.

Project-level metrics:

Impact: Ease of development/time to market.
Measure: DEPR tickets moved to 'Removed' and LOC removed.

Context & Background

We have many deprecation projects in the pipeline and that have been announced to the community, but we don't have the resources to remove all the technology ourselves. We have allotted a general bucket of hours that we can devote to deprecation work to help reduce the pain and complexity of this 'dead' code for future engineers. There are a few general categories of deprecations that we have chosen to focus on:

• Unsupported libraries
• Multiple versions of the same feature
• Incomplete migrations
• MFE replacement work

Scope & Approach

This issue covers the deprecation work that falls into the category of: Deprecating frontends that have been replaced by MFEs.

• [DEPR]: Account pages -> micro-frontend public-engineering#71

• We are removing edx-platform's older implementation of the Django-server-side rendering of the following pages: Learner Profile; Order History; Account, and replacing them with new micro-frontend-based implementations.

• [DEPR]: ecommerce Basket Page -> micro-frontend public-engineering#68

• Goal: We are replacing the old ecommerce basket page with a new micro-frontend-based implementation.

Value & Impact

• Removing duplicative code that has since been replaced by newer MFEs reduces developer confusion and supports/streamlines the adoption of MFEs.
