Decoupled/Headless Drupal

Headless architecture is the strategic evolution of Drupal. By decoupling your back-end and front-end, you gain the security and reliable content management of Drupal while empowering your front-end team to build highly flexible, ultra-fast applications using modern frameworks like React or Vue. I specialize in setting up the tailor-made architecture that makes this integration seamless.

Why Your Front-End Is Holding You Back

Traditional, tightly coupled Drupal setups can create performance bottlenecks and limit your UI possibilities. If you're struggling to hit Core Web Vitals targets or need to serve content to new applications (like native mobile or IoT), decoupling is the necessary shift to liberate your data and accelerate growth.

Architecture Built for Speed and Flexibility

My focus is on configuring a clean, robust, and high-performance Drupal API layer. This provides a single source of truth for your content and data, ensuring lightning-fast communication with any consumer application while maintaining the security and structure you rely on from Drupal.

What a Headless Architecture Setup Includes

Optimized API-First Content Modeling: I restructure your content types and views to function efficiently and securely as a content delivery API (via JSON:API or GraphQL).

  • Custom Content Endpoint Configuration: Setting up specialized endpoints to ensure the front-end gets only the data it needs, reducing load times.
  • CI/CD Pipeline Guidance: Consultation on how to manage the separate deployment processes for the Drupal backend and the front-end application.
  • Security Hardening for API: Implementing security protocols specifically for the API layer to ensure data is protected and access is strictly controlled.

The Advantage of a Dedicated Drupal Specialist

  • Architectural Clarity: I provide clear documentation and strategy, ensuring your team fully understands how to interact with the new content API without guesswork.
  • Full Back-End Optimization: Before deploying the API, I ensure your Drupal backend is fully tuned for speed, handling heavy API requests without performance degradation.
  • Integrated Security: I build security into the API layer, giving you confidence that your data is protected against unauthorized access across all channels.
