MACH architecture has been growing quickly, and being adopted by ecommerce and retail industries in particular. According to a recent CMSWire article by Dom Nicastro, MACH architecture may be reaching an inflection point. 

In general, composability has been a positive movement, and many companies have embraced it, although that hasn’t been possible without challenges. In the article, Nicastro mentions that “many industry verticals want to build off a model that decouples the user interface from diverse “as-as-service” digital experience modules.”

Elsewhere, Bloomreach has launched new AI features, and Boye & Co breaks down the universal CMS concept.
