Headless is a term used to describe a computer program or system that runs without a graphical user interface (GUI). This type of system is usually controlled via command line or programming language such as JavaScript. Headless systems are often used for automation, testing, and other back-end tasks where the GUI is not needed. They can also be used to create web applications that run on a server and are accessed through a web browser.

Headless Components are efficient for app development, but there's a lot of work involved, especially for menus. The customizability wall is a problem with component libraries, but it can be solved through reverse engineering and design. Headless Components offer no markup or basic markup to be overwritten, providing flexibility in code and design quality. Radix and React ARIA are recommended stylus component libraries with different APIs. Kodaks' experience with headless components highlights the ability to mix and match easily and the potential for market gaps in the headless space. Radix is a popular choice for headless components due to its well-documented and user-friendly API. Headless components aid in testing, distribution of design systems, and accessibility. MUI is a self-consistent and rich library, while Radix focuses on accessibility and default accessibility. Kodaks integrates well with headless libraries and welcomes feedback through Discord.

Node.js has become an increasingly popular language to build and deploy backend APIs. In a world of legacy CMSs adopting decoupled implementations, plenty of frameworks have sprung up to classify themselves as "headless" CMSs, designed from the start to provide an easy way to personalize content models, administer permissions and authentication, and serve a content API quickly.
Strapi, one of the leaders in this space, has recently released their v4 version of the framework, and with Platform.sh it can be deployed alongside a number of frontends within the same project, giving a drastically simplified development experience working with decoupled sites. In this workshop, we'll deploy a Strapi demo application, which has been configured to serve a restaurant review site.
Piece piece you will add database services, tests, and frontends, all within the safety of isolated development environments. At the end, each user will have a functioning decoupled site, and some greater understanding of working with decoupled sites in production.

Exploring the WordPress Graph with Next.js & WPGraphQL
WordPress is widely used, and it now supports a REST API for headless usage. Serving static HTML files allows for infinite scaling and surviving viral traffic. GraphQL can be used to interface with WordPress data, reducing complexity. WordPress can be coupled with plugins like Yoast and ACF, and WPGraphQL works seamlessly with these plugins. GraphQL allows for selecting only necessary data and has performance advantages over REST APIs.
