You'll see how the maintainability of your application reduces exponentially over the years. In contrast, a decoupled design enables an easy handshake between the front-end and back-end applications, meaning you can implement services in a short amount of time and scale them quickly. The final part of the book covers the impact of decoupling on functional and non-functional requirements and the use of Drupal 8 modules to address the requirements of decoupling. This involves solving the problems that occur at different stages of CMS evolution in an organization.What You Will LearnDiscover the principles of headless/decoupled designImplement Drupal in a real-time environmentWork with the Drupal modules normally used in a decoupled designUse Drupal to complete back-end tasksIntegrate a Pantheon cloud-solution for headless DrupalAcknowledge the use of CMS in your day-to-day IT lifeWho This Book Is ForWeb application designers, developers, and Drupal enthusiasts.
