Re: [MCN-L] Is your Content Management System headless?

[Daniel Brennan]

We've lately been using Strapi (https://strapi.io/) to build out a
repository to capture collections-related content not already stored in our
CMS (Drupal 7) or TMS. Some benefits are that 1.) We're able to lean on the
built-in API of the headless CMS to readily deliver that information
downstream, rather than forcing it into existing systems that would need
heavy customization to store it, and 2.) It introduces content creators and
managers to the notion that content can be decoupled from presentation in a
way that's not totally disruptive.

Before this we built a small site with GatsbyJS, which in a lot of ways
served as a test of the above concepts, though didn't ultimately scale as
well as we'd hoped largely because it was so closely tied to markdown as a
content format.

Hi Mark,

We recently developed an in gallery exhibit for the Museums maritime archelogy 
collection using a Drupal 8 + Gatsby JS + Reactive Search set up. The database 
has around 16k objects with ~20 variable fields on each object and multiple 
object images that can be over 50MB. I think redeveloping the primary site and 
the collections, a progressively decoupled Drupal site is most viable. With 
Drupal doing most the work, but having the option to be used as a repository or 
API endpoint to create more tailored experiences. Happy to discuss any 
questions.

Scott,
