In this episode, Luv Kapur joins Mehmet to break down how composability is reshaping modern engineering. Luv is an engineering leader at Bit, working across their open source and enterprise platforms, and one of the earliest advocates for modular, reusable software as a way to unlock scale.

They explore why composability matters, how modular systems speed up delivery, and the cultural shift required inside engineering teams. Luv also shares real results from enterprise adoption, including faster iteration cycles, fewer defects, and measurable ROI in the eight-figure range. The conversation closes with a deep look into HopeAI, Bit’s AI architect designed to orchestrate existing components rather than generate endless code.

This is a practical and insightful episode for any CTO, engineering leader, or founder navigating the next era of platform development.

About Luv Kapur

Luv Kapur is an Engineering Lead and Solutions Architect at Bit. His background spans platform engineering, dev tooling, internal systems, and leading enterprise adoption of composable software. He has helped teams move from monolithic and fragmented architectures to modular systems that enable real speed, discoverability, and developer empowerment.

He now works across Bit’s open source ecosystem and Bit Cloud for enterprise, helping organizations adopt composability and shift toward a more scalable engineering model.

Key Takeaways

• Composability is an operating model that enables teams to build with reusable building blocks and ship faster.

• Modular architectures reduce defects, improve consistency, and increase transparency across engineering teams.

• Discoverability and ownership are core success factors. Without them, composability collapses into fragmentation.

• AI should act as an orchestrator, not a generator. The future belongs to systems that reuse proven components.

• Enterprise ROI from composability is measurable, from reduced iteration time to real cost savings in the millions.

• Citizen developers will play a bigger role as AI unlocks access to complex internal systems.

• Engineers will still be needed, but AI will free them to solve harder and more meaningful problems.
