From monoliths to composability
Legacy solutions, like Sitecore and Adobe Experience Manager (AEM), promised a one-stop-shop experience, simplifying the intricate web of digital content management. Yet, with the rapid technological advancements and increasing business demands, these once revered monolithic systems are now showing their age — and limitations.
In this e-book, we'll uncover the shortcomings of the monolithic approach and explore the rise of composable DXPs championed by industry leaders like Contentstack.
Legacy systems are pre-defined, rigid and typically cumbersome. In contrast, composable DXPs are built on the principle of modularity. This means enterprises can pick, choose and stitch together different services to craft a solution tailored to their unique needs rather than conforming to the limitations of an all-in-one system.
The advantages of a composable DXP include:
- Flexibility: Organizations can integrate or replace components as required without overhauling the entire system.
- Rapid implementation: Without the constraints of a monolithic structure, businesses can deploy features and updates in real time.
- Scalability: As businesses grow, composability ensures their DXP can grow with them, easily integrating new modules or services.
