Freedom, flexibility, choice. Composable sounded like the perfect solution. But as our CTO 🇩🇰 Filip Bech-Larsen puts it, "composability without direction and guardrails quickly becomes chaos." In his latest blog post, Filip explores how we can move from composable regrets to practical composability - a smarter, more grounded approach to building digital experiences.

When composable first arrived, it promised freedom. Freedom to choose the best tools, to move faster, and to stay flexible. And honestly, who wouldn’t want that? Fast forward a few years… and I keep hearing from teams who feel a bit stuck. What looked like agility on paper turned into higher complexity, a web of integrations, higher costs, and digital experiences that don’t always connect the way they should. I’ve started calling it composable regrets. Not because composable is bad (it’s not!), but because we’ve learned some hard lessons from the first wave. The biggest one being that composability without direction and guardrails quickly becomes chaos. The next step has to be practical composability that gives openness and choice without the constant juggling act. I’ve shared a few thoughts about this in a new blog post on the Umbraco blog. If you’re working with or thinking about composable, I’d love for you to give it a read. 👉 https://lnkd.in/dhbHXEtZ (the picture is from a recent trip to Hamburg where some simple coloured umbrellas made a street look really cool! - and yes, I'll do my hair for the next photo :-D)
