Summary

Composability 2022 - How far have we come?

Less than 2 years ago the term MACH started appearing on B2B social platforms, then in tech architects' conversations, and finally in the boardroom.

Roll forward to 2022 and composability is the buzzword of big retail, and now at going into 2023 there are many completed projects, retailers who are live and proceeding to optimise their stacks moving forward.

We were joined to celebrate the year passed, and debated the path to success in 2023 for composable projects, from start to finish to optimisation.
