Exploring the Pros and Cons of Headless CMS with Drupal
Atom, a Rotterdam-based Drupal Shop in the Netherlands, delves into headless content management systems (CMS), comprehensively exploring the pros and cons. Their latest blog post dissects the three primary setups for a Drupal 10 website: traditional, headless, and decoupled.
While traditional Drupal operates with a coupled approach, where the back-end and front-end are intertwined, a headless CMS separates these layers entirely. This separation allows for unparalleled flexibility, enabling content to be distributed across various channels effortlessly. However, while headless CMS offers unparalleled versatility, it relinquishes control over the presentation layer, requiring additional frameworks like Angular or React to construct the front end. Despite the trade-offs, the increasing demand for multi-channel content consumption makes headless Drupal a compelling option for modern digital experiences.
