Web Development Revolution: Headless vs. Decoupled Drupal

Staff Reporter

When it comes to modern web development, the traditional way of building websites and applications using a single system to handle both frontend and backend functionalities is no longer the only option. With the rise of headless and decoupled architectures, developers now have more flexibility and control over how they architect their digital experiences.

In a captivating blog post by Bordinary, we delve deep into the details of headless and decoupled Drupal, exploring their differences, benefits, and potential use cases. This exploration will empower you to make an informed decision for your next project.

Headless Drupal: Breaking Free from the Norm

Headless Drupal, also known as "API-first Drupal," represents a revolutionary approach where the front end and back end part ways. In this setup, Drupal takes on the role of a content management system (CMS) in the backend, while the front end is crafted separately using your preferred technology stack.

Decoupled Drupal: Finding Harmony

Decoupled Drupal, often termed "progressive decoupling," strikes a middle ground. In this approach, certain parts of the website remain coupled, while others embrace decoupling. The frontend is built using a JavaScript framework, such as React or Angular, while Drupal continues to manage the backend, serving as a content repository and administrative interface.

To embark on a deep dive into the world of headless and decoupled Drupal and discover which path aligns with your project's vision, read the full blog post. The future of web development awaits your exploration.
