Decoupled Drupal across the stack
summary
Describes concrete decoupled Drupal stacks: API-first distributions like Contenta, Reservoir, and Headless Lightning; SDKs such as Waterwheel JS and Swift; and Acquia Cloud’s new Node.js hosting that lets server-side JavaScript render universal apps while Drupal serves JSON APIs. Gives working examples: Drupal-backed Ember and React sites, MTA countdown clocks driving displays across ~400 stations, and Princess Cruises’ multiscreen system. Notes a Reservoir install glitch during the demo but overall infrastructure and SDKs are production-ready and used in live deployments.
