decoupled

In today's digital ecosystem, the choice of technology stack is crucial to the success of any project, particularly when developing large-scale web applications. A trend gaining momentum is the decoupling of the frontend and backend, which enhances flexibility, scalability, and the overall user experience. This architectural choice is brilliantly exemplified by the integration of Next.js and Drupal, where Drupal's robust content management capabilities are combined with the modern frontend framework of Next.js.

Recognizing the limitations of its traditional Twig-based frontend, Drupal has embraced a more flexible approach known as "Decoupled Drupal." This blog post delves into  projects that we’ve worked on: Novozymes and Novonesis that leveraged Next.js for the frontend and Drupal as the headless CMS backend, offering valuable insights for digital solution leads and developers keen on exploring this technology stack.
