I'm Matt, navigating you through the forest that is Tech Terms. In this episode, we're breaking down 2 often confused terms in the Cloud world, which is BaaS and SaaS. This is not gonna be good for my list, but we're gonna try it anyways. So what is a BaaS?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A BaaS or Backend as a Service simplifies app and website development by managing a lot of the back end operations through cloud services. It allows developers to really concentrate and focus on the fun parts, which are the user facing parts, the UX of the UI of the website or app, the front end. Some of the services managed by BaaS providers include, like, databases, cloud storage, and server management. Some of the best functionality you'll find is is user authentication, data management, and push notifications, or or things like that. What is SaaS?\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So SaaS is software as a service. It's essentially like renting out, software through the Internet. It's usually like a monthly fee for a SaaS tool or something along those lines. It's universally accessible from most any device, or it should be, with an Internet connection. Common use cases are email services, CRM systems, document creation tools, really any tool you find is probably a SaaS.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Major providers like Google Workspace, Sales Salesforce, Microsoft Office, those are comprehensive software solutions. There's a lot of smaller ones, though. BaaS versus SaaS. So why the distinction? While both SaaS and BaaS streamline cloud service processes, they cater to different needs.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So a BaaS is akin to delivering the ingredients and tools needed for developers to build applications. And a SaaS is a ready to consume software meal, handling all the back end, maintenance and updates. So if we're in this forest. Right? A BaaS is all of the tools and materials you need to build your own cabin, Whereas, SAS is one you find on Airbnb and you rent a fully equipped cabin.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Probably way more expensive in the long run, but it gives you everything you need much faster. So understanding BaaS and SaaS helps demystify class you know, how you're using software in your organization. This was a short but sweet episode. I look forward to seeing you again on the next episode. Appreciate your time.\u003C\u002Fp>","Hey there, and welcome back to another episode of Buzzword Wilderness.

And today, we're tackling a term that you have probably heard of, which is composable. It's a term, it's an approach, it's a philosophy. It's really changing the game in how we build and and talk about digital platforms.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It, emphasizes adaptability and flexibility. So let's dive in. What is composable? So composable technology is all about building systems that are flexible and easy to adjust. The systems are are made up of different parts that can be combined in different ways or swapped out, really depends on on the demands you have and how those change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>Change. Imagine this is like LEGOs. Each block is a piece of your technology setup, whether it's for storing data, managing content, or anything else. You can rearrange these blocks to fit your needs or teams, whether you're scaling up or shifting focus. Application and technology.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So composable architecture really helps businesses stay agile. Instead of replacing an entire system when needs change, you can simply change parts of it. It's like changing the tires instead of buying a whole new car. For developers, especially, this means more freedom. They can choose the best tools for specific tasks without being locked into one system or vendor, and you can customize it exactly like your team needs the back end.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>A few episodes ago, we talked about digital experience platforms. DXPs traditionally came as one complete package, hard to modify if your needs change, but now a lot of them are embracing these composable principles. Thinking like a smartphone. Right? The older models came fixed with apps you couldn't change.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>The Apple iPhone came out and completely changed the game. Get the apps you want, the apps you need, for that moment. Download them. Delete them. Do whatever you want.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>It's completely flexible all just from one base device. So I don't think composable technology is really just another trend or buzzword. It's a new way of thinking about how to structure the back end of your business.

I think, as a lot more enterprises start to adopt it in, the terminology is just starting to take off.\u003C\u002Fp>\u003Cp>So I appreciate you sticking with me as always, and I hope this explanation clears up some of the fog around composable.
