Beyond micro-services, embrace composable architectures
summary
Claims composable architectures speed delivery by composing no-code marketplace with payment+CRM and later swapping in a custom frontend and search. Concrete lesson: a chosen SaaS search downtime causes visible user impact despite modularity. Practical checklist: evaluate API coverage and uptime, verify data residency, estimate integration cost, and match choices to team skills. Warns that poor design creates tangled dependencies and degraded reliability so build small, measure, and only replace when benefits clearly exceed migration cost.
