Composability is to Software as Compounding Interest is to Finance
summary
Argues that composability drives compound business and technical value by citing concrete interfaces and outcomes: the Container Storage Interface yields 110 CSI drivers and removes in-tree complexity, the Container Networking Interface plus eBPF/Cilium enables pluggable networking and kernel programmability, observability consolidation into OpenTelemetry (fast-moving project) accelerates integrations, and recent consolidation around Envoy (Contour + Emissary) reduces duplicated work — each interface lowers repeat investment and lets new products, users, and companies scale.
