What is Composable Commerce?
Composable Commerce is a term that describes digital commerce solutions composed of the best components. Done right, Composable Commerce gives you the opportunity to choose the best tools and put them together into a well-functioning whole.
With a Composable Commerce strategy, it is possible to adopt new technology and more easily replace parts of the solution if necessary. It gives the freedom to experiment, and to keep up with developments.
Composable Commerce requires modularity, clear demarcation of areas and decoupling between frontend and backend, with APIs that make data and functionality available. It places demands on the architecture.
MACH arkitektur
MACH architecture
MACH is an architecture that facilitates Composable Commerce. It is short for Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native and Headless.
With Microservices, we move away from the monolithic approach towards an architecture where several separate domain-specific services each handle a clearly defined area within the digital trading solution.
Data and functionality are primarily exposed through clear and accessible APIs, so that any application can consume the services and data offered, which is the basis for integration between the various components.
Cloud strategies such as Software-as-a-Service have the potential to reduce the complexity of the solution, ensure scalability and simplify both maintenance and operation.
By decoupling the frontend from the backend, we achieve the flexibility to use the tools we want in a flexible way. The decoupling also allows us to create several different user experiences specifically for different channels, devices and target groups if we wish.
