Headless CMS

Exact Definition

A Headless CMS is a backend-only content management system built from the ground up as a content repository that makes content accessible via an API for display on any device.

Architectural Deep Dive

Unlike traditional content editors (e.g., WordPress) which couple editor interfaces with page templates, a Headless CMS focuses exclusively on content editing and database storage, delivering content via REST or GraphQL to high-performance frontend clients.

The ERPStack Approach

We connect decoupled Next.js websites to Headless CMS engines, keeping frontend load times low and page cache updates instant via webhooks.
