You may have heard this acronym and you were wondering that it means.
MACH is an industry tech standard describing modern technology. The prerequisites to achieve this standard are: ๐ ๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฟ๐ผ๐๐ฒ๐ฟ๐๐ถ๐ฐ๐ฒ๐ ๐ฏ๐ฎ๐๐ฒ๐ฑ , ๐๐ฃ๐-๐ณ๐ถ๐ฟ๐๐, ๐๐น๐ผ๐๐ฑ-๐ป๐ฎ๐๐ถ๐๐ฒ ๐ฆ๐ฎ๐ฎ๐ฆ and ๐๐ฒ๐ฎ๐ฑ๐น๐ฒ๐๐.
Although initially targeting theย retailย business domain,ย MACHย principles can be successfully applied in a variety of systems, in both greenfield or modernization projects. The principles are simple:
1. Microservices. Individual pieces of business functionality that are independently developed, deployed and managed.
2. API-first: All functionality is exposed through an API, making it possible to tie together two or more applications or services.
3. Cloud-Native SaaS: Software-as-a-Service that leverages the full capabilities of the cloud, beyond storage and hosting, including elastic scaling of highly available resources.
4. Headless: The front-end user experience is completely decoupled from the back-end logic, allowing for complete design freedom in creating the user interface and for connecting to other channels and devices (i.e. existing applications, IoT, A/R, Vending Machines, sensors, etc.).
While itโs a relatively new term in the industry, MACH is quickly gaining popularity for how it helps businesses. MACH architecture gives businesses the freedom to choose from the best tools on the market, and maintain a structure that makes it easy to add, replace, or remove those tools in the future.
