Upgrading from a Monolithic to a Headless Frontend

Businesses and consumers are demanding a convenient and unified buying experience, across multiple digital touch points, but traditional eCommerce architectures are outdated for the constant digital commerce evolution. While a Monolithic approach often transforms small changes into time-consuming projects, a Headless eCommerce is a faster and agile alternative.

A Headless architecture separates key functionalities into individual components that interact with each other through standardized interfaces. The frontend is decoupled from the backend and functions independently, enabling to create a personalized and connected digital experience across multiple channels.

With a headless frontend, developers are set free from the complex structure of the backend, allowing them to focus on optimizing and enhancing the user experience. Going headless with your eCommerce allows you to switch easily between frontends or deploy new ones.

Headless commerce functions by passing requests between the presentation and application layers through APIs calls. The architecture delivers a platform via RESTful APIs that comprise of a backend data model and a cloud infrastructure.
