Also known as
composable customer data platform
It is a strong trend for technical teams, usually built around the data warehouse as the store with separate collection, modeling, and activation layers.

Composable is a build-versus-buy choice, not a free upgrade. It trades a vendor’s integration for your team’s engineering ownership. Choose it only if you have the engineering capacity to own it.
