“MACH is absolutely the right way” - Boohoo CTO

Steve Nolan, CTO of online fashion brand Boohoo, believes that MACH architecture can provide businesses with the adaptiveness and cost-effectiveness they need for today and the future. He’s not the only one, either.

In Computer Weekly’s latest publication, Marc Ambasna-Jones dives into why composability will be a key consideration for businesses planning new applications.

“The idea that organisations could architect businesses for real-time adaptability and resilience in the face of uncertainty is an interesting one. Organisations using technology based on modular, packaged business capabilities rather than having to fit processes and plans around the prescribed functions of large software applications is certainly a shift in approach.”

Keeping up with the composability theme, Contentstack launched its Go Composable initiative, and Agility continues celebrating a breakthrough year. Elsewhere, Exemplifi partnered with Webflow, dotCMS looks back at 2022, and Storyblok will host a virtual career fair.

“Given all the talk about efficiencies and increasing agility, and the economic pressures to come, 2023 is going to be an even bigger year for composability. The ability to shape and match technology capabilities with needs is not without its challenges, but there’s enough evidence to suggest it will be worth the ride.”
