MACH Alliance
Yext is committed to evangelizing the MACH ecosystem and bringing the benefits of vetted, modern technology to our partners and customers.
What is the MACH Alliance?
The MACH Alliance is a not-for-profit industry body that advocates for open and best-of-breed enterprise technology ecosystems. The Alliance and its members aim to educate and support the industry as a whole on what to look out for when moving from legacy infrastructure and going composable — including when, where, and how to start and select partners.
The prerequisites to achieve this standard are: Microservices based, API-first, Cloud-native SaaS, and Headless.
API-first
Most or all functionality can be accessed by both customers and partners via APIs.
Cloud-native SAAS
Software-as-a-service that is built using composable architecture, built and developed for speed and scale.
Headless
A modern architecture that bifurcates the frontend experience from the backend data.
Microservices
Software is composed of small independent services that communicate with one another.
