JamstackOPO meetup #16 | Everything you need to know about Headless CMS!

This month, we are exploring Headless CMS! A headless CMS is a content management system that provides a way to author content, but instead of having your content coupled to a particular output, it provides your content as data over an API.

#1 How not to be a headless chicken

The world of headless and decoupled CMS has enjoyed a rapid rise in popularity. But some organizations still need some convincing that it can help them. Phil explores the benefits and characteristics of a decoupled CMS that originally attracted him to the model and successfully pitch it to companies like Nike and Google.

#6 Welcome to the Content Lake: A Short Introduction to Content as Data

Content isn't just what goes into a web page or something that you mostly stick in a markdown file. Headless CMS paved the way for content over APIs, but what happens when you start to treat content as data? In this talk, we'll go through some of the things you can do with a content lake in terms of querying and editing content programmatically.
