Introducing Composer: The New OS of Composable Commerce

The concept behind Composable Commerce is simple: Assemble a “best for you” architecture based on the components you need to solve your unique problems. But in practice, monitoring and controlling a mission-critical architecture composed of multiple vendors has proven to be a real challenge. To date, that work (and the associated risk) has fallen onto developers, DevOps, and CloudOps teams to manage. We’re changing that by announcing Composer, the new operating system (OS) or intelligent integration platform-as-a-service (iPaaS) for Composable Commerce. 

Think of Composer as the connective tissue that makes a composed architecture function seamlessly as a unified whole. Using Composer, you can:

• Choose from more than 100 available integrations or build custom components
• Take actions on connections to build your integrations (e.g. via managing specific API calls, functions and data inputs)
• And monitor every component via a single pane of glass. 

Let’s dive into how Composer works.

Inside the Composer Intelligent iPaaS

It’s important to emphasize that Composer is a vertical-specific commerce intelligence iPaaS. All connections and actions are informed by a commerce point of view, which is critical since backend design decisions have a major impact on the frontend customer experience. Under the hood, Composer is made up of three core services, aimed at removing the operational challenges and risk associated with Composable Commerce architectures.

Integrations Hub

As you may have seen, we recently launched Integrations Hub to make composable commerce implementations easier. Integrations Hub offers instant-on connections with market-leading technologies required to build Composable Commerce applications. These integrations include search, email, OMS, marketplace syndication, PIM, CRM, SSO, promotions, shipping and…
