Traditional CMS systems like WordPress often combine the frontend with the backend, which makes development and scaling difficult. Strapi breaks with that approach.
Why Headless?
The Headless CMS approach means freedom of technology choice. We build the frontend in Astro or React, and Strapi delivers data through a fast API.
- Speed: The frontend is lightweight and static, and API queries are optimised.
- Security: The database and admin panel are hidden from the world; only a secure API is exposed.
- Scalability: You can easily add new content distribution channels without rebuilding the entire system.
At Tesserakt we treat Strapi as the foundation of a Composable Web architecture, combining it with the best tools for building modern digital experiences.
