The Tendril ConnectorTM consists of protocols for data communication to integrate systems and services. It enables secure and robust integrations using API Gateways, Microservices and Service Meshes to enable North-South interactions (webservices and HTTP protocols) and East-West question focused ingestions with Big Data, IoT, Edge servers and connected devices.
By 2023, organizations that have adopted an intelligent composable approach will outpace competition by 80% in the speed of new feature implementation. No piece of technology that you’re going to use will solve all your problems. You have to think about what you’re trying to accomplish and how much of that can be accommodated by the piece of software that you’re using.

TYPES OF SYSTEM ARCHITECTURES
Traditional digital experience stacks rely on monolithic applications that cover an array of business capabilities but offer little flexibility. It can be difficult to deviate from the limited offerings of these suites, which can be restrictive and constraining. The proliferation of digital channels and the pace at which customers expect to engage with brands on those channels have forced companies to prioritize flexibility, agility and speed.
Composable architecture breaks the capabilities of all-inclusive monolithic suites into individual microservices that can be constructed, deconstructed, and reconstructed again and again to meet evolving digital needs. These microservices are connected through APIs to create composable architectures. Built upon a content platform like Contentful, these architectures use content to power engaging, scalable customer experiences.
Composability is key to scaling digital architectures to enable automation. Digital threads and digital twins enable enterprises to model and simulate buildings, products, manufacturing lines, facilities, and processes. This can improve performance, quickly flag quality errors, and support better decision-making. Today, most digital twin projects are one-off efforts. A team may create one digital twin for a new gearbox and start all over when modeling a wind turbine that includes this part or the business process that repairs this part.
One of the ways to reduce complexity is to provide for integration so that people, processes, and systems can seamlessly interact real time. The rise of digital services—built on a foundation of APIs, virtualization, and cloud—is enabling this and changing the way organizations view applications and the way they handle enterprise IT. To affect the kind of change that will allow organizations to compete in a truly disruptive business environment, themes like Composable Architecture and the Application Network, are being put forth to enable themed process management that are scalable, flexible, and secure.

Composable architecture and the microservices they include are often evaluated based on their features (e.g., automation, integration, customization). The teams and strategies that deploy a composable approach, however, are evaluated based on the value they create for the business. Digital teams need to go beyond anecdotal reporting to quantify exactly how successful (or dare we say unsuccessful) their technologies and strategies are at moving the needle on business objectives. The first step to understanding value is determining what to measure and how best to measure it.
Tendril Connector based composable architecture and MACH principles – Microservices, API-first, Cloud-native, and Headless, that will utilize the Digital Twine reference framework to enable make, manage, move, market, and maintain our products and solutions across the ecosystem.
