![]() They will have a lot of momentum in the market with their proprietary SaaS solution. Ultimately what they will never have is an open-source element. Eventually, making them collide and come together and be more similar. They will add all these capabilities that Drupal already has, and Drupal will add capabilities that headless and decoupled had before Drupal. "Headless is great for developers for certain things, but the majority of people don't want to lose these things, so that's why Drupal's flexible approach could easily win in the long run."Ĭontentful of the world will have to figure out a way to deal with that, so Dries thinks they will grow to be a bit more like Drupal. They will lose from accessibility to SEO improvements to layout builder. He felt that marketers don't like today's headless system because they lose so many things that Drupal offers. It's great for developers, but it's bad for marketers like non-technical or less technical people that want to use drag and drop to create layouts or quickly update a menu without having to go back to their developers. He feels that the weakness is in sales and marketing, and many people don't think of Drupal as a strong contender for headless and decoupled.ĭries added that he thinks pure headless will remain niche in the long term. That's why Drupal has several initiatives in the core to keep expanding and improving on its headless and decoupled abilities.Īccording to Dries, the challenge is not technical because he believes Drupal is better in many of these solutions today, including Contentful, as Drupal has better multilingual and workflow support than many of these systems today. The others are innovating fast, and they have money some even raise money from venture capitals, so Dries thinks it's important to keep innovating too. In fact, Drupal wins a lot more than it loses to them. In competitive situations against Contentful of the World, Drupal wins a lot. Today Drupal has a strong leadership position in headless and decoupled and is recognized for that. ![]() "We started investing in headless and decoupled ten years ago and have been putting it at the core of Drupal for about 6 or 7 years." During the 'Fireside chat with Dries' organized by the Drupal India Association, he also said that these systems would never be able to compete with some of the features that Drupal offers.ĭries began answering the question on the future of Drupal and the competition by headless and decoupled by saying that Drupal is in a great position today. Discussing the impact and future of these CMS, Dries Buytaert, the founder and project head of Drupal, talks about the learning opportunities with low code no code systems and the possibility of pure headless turning out to be a niche in the long run. Headless, decoupled, and low code CMS have been on the rise for a while.
