Question 1

Is a hybrid CMS a compromise compared with pure headless?

Accepted Answer

Not inherently. Hybrid avoids rebuilding a front end and editing tools for pages that do not need them, while keeping the API for channels that do. Pure headless makes sense when no channel benefits from rendering supplied by the CMS.

Question 2

How do we place an offering in headless vs decoupled vs hybrid when the label is not enough?

Accepted Answer

By asking three questions. Does the product render pages itself? Can editors preview and compose those pages without a developer? Is all content available through the API? The three answers describe a specific architecture, whatever its sales name.
