Understand What MACH Architecture Is and Its Benefits

MACH stands for Microservices, API First, Cloud Native, and Headless - but what does all that really mean and why should we care? In this video, I explain what problems each of these terms mean and why the combination of these approaches in MACH Architecture is so powerful.
When building we build @Amplience Content Management we built the entire system using the principles of MACH architecture and have seen some incredible results in our own product development as well as great results for our customers. There MACH Architecture is definitely a world apart from the many traditional web Architectures I build in the past. This video not only puts in context the experience I had developing and managing Monoliths but understand how @MACHArchitecture solves many of the problems technologists and the business had from previous architectures and systems.

Most of what I have learned in the MACH / @Headless world has been while building Amplience headless CMS, DAM and dynamic media services. Take a look here amplience.com
If you are interested in joining my product development or operations teams at Amplience we always have room for great Product Owners, Developers, Architects, Testers, Support Engineers, SysOps and DevOps.

Great video!

[@walea9871]

Wonderful and excellent presentation of an otherwise complex approach of how future digital and automated systems should be configured to meet current business needs. It brings the business closer to technology which will make IT have a deserved seat at the decision making table

Thanks Stuart for taking the time to comment it means a lot.

Hi John, is there a MACH alliance member that offers a standard aggregate API (ie iPaaS) across multiple eComm platforms that allow simple integration to all platforms through one API? Seems like a next step to the architecture you discussed. Cheers
