The MACH Alliance was founded in June 2020[4] by four companies: Contentstack, Commercetools, Valtech and EPAM Systems, plus ten inaugural members: Algolia, Amplience, Cloudinary, Constructor.io, Contentful, E2X, Fluent Commerce, Frontastic, Mobify and Vue Storefront.[7]
About a year later, MACH membership reached 30 members[10] and again a year later doubled to about 60 members.[11]
The MACH Alliance actively seeks software vendors, systems integrators, agencies, consultancies, and individual experts who share their vision for open and best-of-breed (a collection of specialized expert applications) enterprise technology ecosystems. The MACH Alliance established certification standards that help identify those that embrace MACH philosophies and offer MACH-certified services. In order to become a member, an organization must be in full compliance.[12]
The MACH alliance's main activities in support of their advocacy are events and the publication of various content pieces.[13][14]
Users can choose cloud services.[9][15] The ability to choose only requires cloud services, which reduce costs.[9][15][16][17] MACH has specialized expert applications.[9][16][17] MACH-based cloud services provide rollouts that can be scaled faster.[17]
Managing many cloud services from different vendors can bring maintenance hurdles and costs associated with tracking, monitoring, securing the integration points, and integrating the service components. MACH is currently a general architecture rather than a standard specification, which implies that technologies and behaviors may differ from cloud service to cloud service.[9]
