Composability sounds elegant in theory: small, independent parts that come together to form something greater, but in practice, it’s messy. What happens when modules overlap, APIs evolve differently across domains, and governance struggles to keep pace? What was meant to simplify architecture sometimes ends up multiplying it.
As systems grow, integration points become dependencies, and flexibility turns into fragility. A simple change in one component ripples through others, making the dream of “plug and play” harder to sustain. Still, the goal remains the same: adaptability without chaos. So how do you achieve it without slowing everything down?
How do you design boundaries that allow reuse but prevent entanglement? How do you define ownership when many teams touch the same shared components? And how can standards evolve without becoming a constraint? Let’s explore how composability works when theory meets reality, and how teams preserve coherence while systems keep expanding. A closed conversation on modular design that enables agility instead of just promising it.
