Composability: The Key to Solving Digital Transformation Challenges

Managing Director of Strategy Eric Feige sat down with Netlify’s Developer Advocate Tiffany Janzen to discuss today’s composability trends, benefits and challenges. Here are key excerpts from their conversation.

Decoupling and MACH (microservices, APIs, cloud-native and headless) architecture are solving today’s complex business problems and exemplifying how to master digital transformation.

Digital transformation has such a high failure rate primarily for two reasons: 1) many companies approach it as an IT-first endeavor and 2) they depend on systems integrators and “all-in-one” vendor technology (aka “the monolith”). Decoupling these obstacles leads to de-risking.

The best approach is not locking into one single vendor but rather breaking each problem into parts and assembling the best available composable solution stack using “best-fit” components.

Composability significantly accelerates the time to market, making parts come together seamlessly and empowering marketing, product and IT teams to make decisions quickly for launching a new digital product, website, campaign or overhaul a user experience.

The top three benefits of composability are operational autonomy, speed to market and cost savings—all which are tied to revenue or competitive market share.
