Off with your CMS’s head! Composability and security in headless CMS

Ryan welcomes Sebastian Gierlinger, VP of Engineering at Storyblok, to talk about how headless content management systems (CMS) fit into an increasingly componentized software landscape. They run through the differences between headless and traditional CMS systems (and databases), prototyping and security concerns, and how a team building distributed systems can get that precious velocity by decoupling their content from its rendering. 

Episode notes:

Storyblok provides a headless CMS they say is made for humans but built for the AI-driven era.
