Headless CMS & Modern Web Architecture

디커플드 아키텍처

Decoupled architecture is broader than headless content delivery. It includes any system whose back-end services and front end are separated by a network boundary, such as microservices paired with an SPA. Lower coupling introduces responsibilities previously handled by the framework: authentication tokens, CORS and preview workflows must be designed explicitly. Live preview is particularly demanding because editors need to view unpublished pages through separately authenticated draft API endpoints.

Business applications and impact#

Lower coupling simplifies maintenance and scaling under increasing traffic.

Implementation guidance and considerations#

Design authentication and the live-preview pipeline carefully.

Content API (REST / GraphQL)

콘텐츠 API

An interface that delivers content from a headless CMS to the front end as JSON through REST or GraphQL.

Token

Static Site Generation

SSG (정적 사이트 생성)
