I think that concept of building something, it lasting two to three years and then literally having to start from scratch and rebuilding. If you take a step back and look at that it just seems a little bit insane. Having that ability to have a bit more of that composable journey where you can say ‘Okay well, 80% of my application is still doing what I want it to and its great, but now a better tool has come along or we’ve learned better ways to do things or business needs have changed slightly, we’ll just change this piece’ is a much more sustainable way to stay truly up to date.
