About composability and composable architecture
- In a monolithic architecture, everything is built around a large, unified code base. All bits of code are interdependent, and the code is essentially one giant monolith.
- In a composable architecture, all application components are separate and combinable. The functions and services of each bit of code can be added to another or reused in different contexts. This code is more like LEGO blocks that can be swapped, replaced, or rearranged, as needed.

What are the advantages of composability?
- Microservices-based: Building applications on loosely grouped, specific services
- API-first: Providing easy-to-use application programming interfaces for interacting with microservices
- Cloud-native: Embracing the power, speed, and flexibility of the cloud over costly, on-premises infrastructures
- Headless: Separating the front-end presentation layer from the back-end functionality for maximum composability
