Drupal headless & decoupled
Headless Drupal — JSON:API, GraphQL & decoupled UX
Decoupled Drupal keeps editorial power while your React, Next.js, or mobile clients consume JSON:API or GraphQL. We design cache tags, preview routes, and auth so marketers are not blocked by deploy cadence.
Whether you need a marketing site with a static edge or authenticated member portals, we align CDN rules, ISR, and invalidation hooks with Drupal's content lifecycle.
What we deliver
How we connect Drupal to modern clients without sacrificing editorial safety or performance.
JSON:API & GraphQL
Schema design, field-level access, and pagination contracts for consumers.
Preview & draft
OAuth or token bridges so decoupled UIs show unpublished states safely.
Caching strategy
CDN, edge workers, and tag-based purge without thundering herds.
Auth patterns
JWT, session bridging, and CORS policies reviewed for abuse cases.
Editor UX
Layout Builder / Paragraphs feeding structured JSON for design systems.
Testing
Contract tests from front-end fixtures; visual regression for critical templates.
Architecture principles
Headless is not "no Drupal skills"—it shifts complexity to contracts, caching, and observability. We document both sides so mobile and web squads can ship independently.
Stack pairings
Common pairings we support: Drupal + Next.js or NestJS, Drupal + mobile apps via thin BFFs, and Drupal feeding personalisation data to commerce edges.
