Agility through Composable Architecture
summary
Composable architecture claim: Ikea Digital moved from monoliths to a composable stack starting 2019 and applies it across ~30 markets to speed delivery and cut reuse costs. Built components include event mesh, API fabric and orchestration fabric plus system and API discovery catalogs and a data fabric; group digital is ~5,000 people managing ~1,800 products. Outcomes: faster time‑to‑market, reuse and scalability; caveats: complex workflows, divergent data models, governance needs, and ERPs remain for stable financial systems.
