Reducing an application’s startup latency and implementing lazy loading of certain parts of an application are the main reasons for modularization.
A good illustration of why you might want to consider modularization is the well-designed web application of Mercedes Benz USA. This web application serves people who live in the United States and either own or are considering purchasing cars from this European car manufacturer.
One of the purchasing options is called European Delivery. An American resident who chooses this particular package can combine a vacation with her car purchase. She flies to the Mercedes Benz factory in Europe, picks up her car, and has a two-week vacation, driving her new vehicle throughout Europe. After the vacation is over, the car is shipped to her hometown in the US.
