The composable web refers to an architectural approach to building web applications and websites by breaking them down into modular, reusable pieces. Instead of building monolithic structures where each piece is tightly coupled, the composable web focuses on integrating independent services and tools that work seamlessly together.
The Jamstack, which stands for JavaScript, APIs, and Markup, exemplifies this philosophy. In Jamstack architecture, the frontend (built with JavaScript and Markup) is decoupled from the backend, with the connection being facilitated through APIs. This modularity allows developers to choose the best tools and services for each task, rather than being confined to a specific technology stack. As a result, these composable approaches lead to more flexible, scalable, and maintainable websites and apps.
