The Rise of Composable Architecture in Web Development

In this podcast episode, Matt Billman, CEO and co-founder of Netlify, discusses the concept and importance of composable architecture in web development. He explains how the traditional monolithic architecture used for websites and web applications is evolving into a more modular approach, where the front-end and back-end are decoupled into separate systems. This allows for greater flexibility, scalability, and reusability of components. Matt also highlights the challenges faced by teams adopting this architecture and the need for a coherent platform to simplify the development process. He introduces Netlify's offerings, such as Netlify Connect for unifying data sources and Netlify Create for non-developers to manage content, that aim to support companies transitioning to a composable architecture.
