Drupal can be used not only as a classic, monolithic CMS, but also as a decoupled / headless CMS. In this case, Drupal is also an excellent choice for the development of modern web applications.
Drupal is not only available as a monolith, but also headless / decoupled.
A decoupled or headless CMS is a type of content management system that separates the content from the presentation. While traditional CMS systems such as Drupal offer an integrated user interface for content management and presentation, a decoupled CMS allows the use of any front-end technology to display the content.

The advantages of Drupal as a decoupled / headless CMS
Drupal offers a variety of benefits that make it a top choice as a decoupled/headless CMS:
- Flexibility: Drupal is extremely flexible and can be seamlessly integrated with any frontend technology. Developers have the freedom to create custom frontends using modern frameworks such as React, Angular or Vue.js, while benefiting from Drupal's powerful content management functionality.
- Scalability: Drupal is a robust and scalable platform that is also suitable for demanding web applications. Whether small business websites or complex web applications, Drupal can meet the needs of different projects.
- Extensibility: Drupal has a wide range of extensions and modules that allow developers to customize and extend the functionality of their CMS as needed. This makes Drupal an extremely versatile platform that is suitable for a wide range of use cases.
