Latest news about Bitcoin and all cryptocurrencies. Your daily crypto news habit.
One of the core benefits of offloading key development services onto best-in-class APIs is getting your project up and running quickly. Instead of building out a custom payment gateway; developers would rather plug into Stripe and start transacting immediately. Similarly, the days of building out your own search application are over; developers are simply plugging into Algolia to make their data searchable in a fraction of the time.
The same shifts are occurring in content management. Instead of installing and building out a legacy monolithic content manage system, developers are gravitating to the “headless CMS” to allow them to build apps using their favorite frameworks and technologies, while giving their marketers and content managers a web-based Dashboard to create and manage content with simple, scalable content modeling tools. Content and code remain decoupled, allowing each member of a cross-functional team to work with only the tools they need to get their job done.
Our headless CMS of choice is Cosmic JS. Cosmic JS enables content managers and developers to work better together. By providing an intuitive Admin Dashboard, powerful APIs, and flexible user roles, applications are built faster, more light-weight, and your whole team ends up saving time in the process.
