As software systems evolve in complexity, they are moving towards a modular and distributed design. Teams now prefer loosely-coupled components that facilitate autonomy and focus on specific functionalities without the need to manage the whole system. Traditional modularity has been defined by technical boundaries, such as separating frontend and backend services, leading to challenges like API delays and deployment synchronization. Full-stack components, however, are centered on business goals and allow for encapsulated units that include both frontend and backend, thereby eliminating dependencies. Harmony, a library for integrating these components, exemplifies this new approach to modularization.
As modern software systems grow in complexity, they naturally become more modularized and distributed. Rather than maintaining a single, monolithic codebase, development teams increasingly structure their applications as loosely-coupled components.
Full-stack components introduce a different way of thinking about modularity. Instead of splitting software along technical boundaries, they encapsulate entire units based on business goals.
Harmony is a lightweight library built to streamline the integration of composable software. It enables teams to combine independently delivered full-stack components, called "aspects", to form unified, cohesive platforms.
This approach abstracts away infrastructure details, allowing developers to think in terms of product functionality rather than system architecture.
