# Monolithic, headless, or composable architecture? What to choose and why in 2024 - Algolia Blog

**[Algolia Blog](https://daily.dev/sources/alg)** · 10 min read · 5 upvotes · 0 comments

## Summary

In 2024, web development focuses on moving away from monolithic systems to adopt headless and composable architectures, offering greater agility, innovation, and personalization. Monolithic architectures are tightly bound systems that lack flexibility and scalability. Headless architecture separates front-end and back-end, improving flexibility and user experience consistency. Composable architecture goes further with modular components that are independently deployable and scalable, providing unparalleled customizability and resource efficiency. These modern architectures boost performance, scalability, and adaptability, essential for competitive ecommerce platforms.
