Content is King: How Contentful and CaaS are Changing
summary
Claims that Contentful makes content scalable and reusable across channels and that disciplined content modeling is the linchpin. Concrete tools shown: Contentful web app, Delivery/Preview APIs, GraphQL, image APIs, webhooks, migration scripts tied into CI/CD, and environments and aliases that clone and flip production in seconds with rollbacks in ~5–10 minutes. Demo builds product pages, a kiosk feed and GraphQL pulls work end to end; static-site example yields much higher Lighthouse scores.
