MACH Forward: Build or Buy in the Age of Vibe-Coded Components

Our private roundtable builds on the LinkedIn Live. Here in the community, you can join the conversation.

As AI accelerates delivery, teams are moving faster than ever, and starting to question what actually needs to be a product. When everything is composable and generatable, the “build vs buy” decision becomes much more fluid.

System integrators and internal teams are beginning to replace or extend existing layers with AI-generated or AI-assisted components, in part to move faster, but also to reduce dependency on SaaS licensing models.

Join the conversation with Matthew Garrepy and Jasmin Guthmann to explore what this shift looks like in practice.

👉 LinkedIn Live: May 19 | 10 AM EDT | 3 PM BST

👉 Exclusive community roundtable: May 26 | 10 AM EDT | 3 PM BST

We’ll discuss:

1. When it makes sense to build AI-driven components vs rely on existing solutions
2. How teams are replacing or extending layers in composable stacks
3. What this shift means for SaaS models, licensing, and vendor dependency
4. How vendor roles evolve in an AI-accelerated ecosystem
5. What “good” looks like when speed and structure are in tension

Expect candid discussion under Chatham House principles.

Bring your own perspective. Where are you drawing the line between build and buy today?

This session is for members and end users navigating architecture decisions in an AI-accelerated, composable world.
