Listen to this episode of DXTalk and hear what tendencies and experiences in the Digital Experience Industry led Tomas Antvorskov Krag, CTO at NoA Ignite, to work fully with composable and headless designs today.
Tomas describes the evolvement from the editor-friendly functionality-rich monolithic systems to the disadvantages of rendering all this information, splitting up platforms into less editor-friendly but fast, composable systems, to the Jamstack, headless revolution, and the introduction of all the new players that combine good developer, editor, user, and customer experience.
We talk about composable e-commerce and its different approaches - do you build your e-commerce platform from multiple sources, e-commerce without content, or model your product data into your CMS? Tomas lets us in on how they build e-commerce architectures at NoA Ignite and emphasizes how to deal with many data types. He shares his thoughts on future e-commerce and highlights some of the best e-commerce vendors right now.
Tomas shares with us the advantages of composable architecture from a business point of view and how the employee/editor experience benefits from a composable approach, not just the user experience.
