- Topic: What’s the point of headless?
- Abstract: In the dynamic landscape of Sitecore, the discourse on headless architecture has been well-articulated, addressing the 'what' - a SaaS-based model in XM Cloud - and the 'how’ - utilizing JSS, the layout service, and predominantly Next.js and React. However, the vital 'why' remains elusive. This talk aims to delve into the rationale behind the headless model, analyze industry trends beyond the confines of Sitecore, and predict the trajectory of Sitecore development in the foreseeable future.
