Building a composable architecture isn’t as simple as buying and implementing a few composable technologies—it’s about how you connect and orchestrate them. Unfortunately, many brands find themselves in a tangled mess shortly after adopting composable solutions. Why? Because instead of achieving the flexibility and agility composability promises, their architectures end up tightly coupled or overly complex, defeating the purpose entirely.
How the Mess Happens:
Coupling Frontends to Backends: Many organizations build new frontends that are directly tied to backend systems, creating a dependency so rigid that swapping out a service requires significant frontend refactoring. This tightly coupled setup locks you into your current backend choices.
The BFF Trap :Backend-for-Frontend (BFF) architectures often cater to a single frontend. While this approach may work temporarily, adding new channels demands entirely new BFFs, replicating effort and introducing inconsistencies.
The Result?
Fragmented Customer Experiences: Launching new channels becomes a logistical nightmare, with each requiring point-to-point integrations to backends. This approach not only slows down development but also risks delivering inconsistent customer experiences.
Scalability Issues: Glue code in frontend layers or BFFs isn’t built to scale independently. As you scale, performance bottlenecks arise, forcing you to invest in infrastructure management—directly contradicting MACH’s cloud-native and SaaS principles.
The Solution: A Data Orchestration Layer
True composability comes from a foundation of flexibility, where frontends and backends are decoupled, and business logic is centralized. As advocated by the MACH Alliance, a Data Orchestration Layer is key. This layer abstracts backend complexity, manages integration and business logic, and provides a unified API to deliver seamless and personalized omnichannel experiences.
Enter Conscia: The Brain of Your Composable Stack
Conscia’s zero-code Orchestration Engine embodies this principle, sitting at the heart of your composable architecture. It decouples your frontends from backend systems, allowing you to:
Replace or update backend services without touching frontend code.
Scale business logic independently of your infrastructure.
Deliver consistent, personalized customer experiences across all channels.
