Key terms and concepts behind headless CMS, decoupled architecture, and modern web development.

Content Modeling

Content modeling is the practice of defining structured content types, fields, and relationships that organize how content is stored and delivered.

Decoupled architecture separates backend and frontend systems, connecting them through APIs for independent development, scaling, and deployment.

GraphQL is an API query language that lets clients request exactly the data they need in a single request, reducing over-fetching and under-fetching.

A headless CMS is a content management system that separates content storage and management from the presentation layer, delivering content via APIs.

Model Context Protocol (MCP) is an open standard that lets AI models interact with external tools and data sources through a unified interface.

Static Site Generation (SSG) pre-renders web pages at build time, producing fast, secure HTML files that can be served from a CDN without a server.
