Headless CMS

Tags: [#CMS, #WebDevelopment, #ContentManagement]

A Headless Content Management System (CMS) is a back-end only content management system built as a content repository, which makes content accessible via APIs for display on any platform. Unlike traditional CMS that tightly couples content and presentation, a headless CMS allows developers to use any frontend tool to fetch and display content, offering greater flexibility and customization. This architecture enables content to be easily repurposed and delivered across multiple channels such as websites, apps, and IoT devices.

Great overview of what a headless CMS is and its advantages 👍 For those interested in a Git-based approach to headless CMS, Contentrain.io is an option worth exploring.

It leverages the power of Git architecture for content versioning and combines it with serverless platforms for scalability. This gives you the benefits of Git's version control and the flexibility of a headless CMS.

It might be a fitting choice for projects that value collaboration and need to manage both static and dynamic content efficiently.
