Market opportunities nowadays which focuses on people centricity and resilient delivery as key requirements in boosting business growth has lead to the need in accelerating digital transformation in organisations. Business and applications leaders are urged to find answers on the best solution in speeding up the transition. The answers lies on composability. Everything should be composable, from business architecture to applications. In this recent years, ‘The future is composable’ has become the most current mantra for business strategy such that various new terms related to composability are added into the business strategy vocabulary. Among them is composable applications. So, how is accelerating digital transformation through composable applications interrelated?
Composable applications is an approach that involves building applications that are business-centric modular. It applies components such as APIs, microservices and event driven applications to create new applications with greater adaptability, purpose and competency to meet a business functionality. Through composable applications, applications are applied in building blocks (composable business concept approach) and can be modified or rearranged from existing application to adapt changes.
Digital transformation and composable applications relies on each other to successfully achieve business objectives of an organisation.
Firstly, composable applications provide support for implementing digital transformation through interdependent system. With composable applications being an independent self-governing systems, system failure has less impact or no impact at all to the operation as well as can easily be fixed or improved. Secondly, with applications being operated and managed in building blocks, developers are able to innovate more creatively, use or reuse code in flexible way and also be more productive since applications are now easily integrated into technology stack. Finally, with APIs as a key component of composable applications, digital transformation can be achieved without security acting as the limiting factor.
All in all, digital transformation and composability work hand and in hand in determining the achievement of an organisation. Both digital transformation and composability are continuous process as advancement of technologies knows no limit. Certain technology may retain reliable or evolve in the next moment. Nevertheless, embracing composable applications can open the door to bigger things or a stepping stone in other transition in digital business.
