Businesses can unlock the power of digital content to deliver sophisticated experiences and shape new trends depending on customers’ preferences. This has resulted in composable content – small and meaningful content that can be delivered through composable platforms. While “Composable” is a relatively new framework that decouples resources and treats them as services, it can be applied to different areas such as content, architecture, and eCommerce. For instance, Frontastic is a composable platform, while Contentful helps to publish and distribute composable content. These platforms are beneficial for businesses whose processes revolve around content. Read this blog to know about each of these platforms in detail.
