Composable Architectures: Designing the Future of Agile, Resilient Business. (Not Compostable... although some legacy systems might belong there!)
LinkedIn
March 30, 2025
Composable Architecture. Not compostable… but maybe that fits too.
It’s time to compost outdated legacy thinking — and embrace something far more transformative: Composable Architecture. ️

Here’s why it matters:
Agility — Enables faster innovation and real-time adaptability
Modularity — Interchangeable building blocks across tech and teams
Security — Flexible, scalable safeguards that evolve with your stack
Value — Accelerates speed-to-market and competitive edge
In my latest newsletter, I explore how composable architectures are driving transformation — and what leaders need to do to unlock their full potential.
