Composable Architecture: Orchestrating the Modern Tech Stack

The rise of cloud-native services and open APIs has completely changed how we build software. Where we once debated whether to build or buy, the modern answer is neither:

We orchestrate.

Composable architecture isn’t just a buzzword. It’s a shift in how we architect, scale, and evolve our systems. It means we no longer think in terms of monoliths vs. microservices or full-stack platforms vs. point solutions. We think in terms of building blocks—small, best-of-breed services that work together.

This used to be a strategic fork in the road. But the reality of modern enterprise architecture and product development is far more nuanced. The binary framing of “build vs. buy” is increasingly obsolete. Today, the more useful question is:
