To truly realize the benefits of composable solutions requires maturity and a plan for building and growing into these architectures. Many organizations don’t have the ability to simply commit to composable and convert legacy systems to more modernized approaches and instead, must consider new, hybrid methods to slowly migrate to composable architectures, leveraging composable suites instead of jumping wholeheartedly into complete rewrites.
There are two new trends we see now driving the composable marketplace:
-
Pure play MACH composable vendors are now creating features and services which tilt more towards traditional CMS platforms. Examples here include Contentstack building the Automation Hub framework and now expanding into front-end hosting with its Contentstack Launch featureset.
-
At the same time, traditional CMS platforms are modernizing their underlying architecture to drive the benefits of composable architecture, using a new approach called a Composable Suite. Optimizely is most notable here in that it offers a new SaaS based approach to delivering its well-regarded CMS and CMP platforms using traditional MACH delivery models.
