Break #2

Content modeling is one of Strapi's modeling type.
In content type modelling, the user creates a JSON file that represents how data will be structured in the data base and a set of lifecycle hooks in javascript file that determines how and when data should be called into their web application.

With the lifecycle hook in place, content type data structures can only be used for one API’s model. "

Break #3

Strapi is a tremendous tool for quickly building content APIs, but building a local app into a production site comes with all the same concerns any other site has. Primarily, you need to be able to quickly and repeatedly provision infrastructure for new features and each new pull request to the application. In this workshop, we’ll show you how the infrastructure-as-code approach of Platform.sh can offload all of your infrastructure needs directly onto Git by adding multiple service containers with just a few lines of YAML,  providing you with an efficient development workflow as you build out your production headless CMS.

There’s a general misconception that since Jamstack sites and applications don't rely on traditional server architectures, they come at the cost of dynamic, powerful experiences. The reality is, Jamstack sites are great for creating highly dynamic, interactions using powerful tools like serverless functions and a variety of third-party services.

In this session, we'll look at how a Jamstack architecture, with serverless functions and Strapi CMS, help developers deliver scale, performance, and a rich content authoring experience, without the burden of servers or infrastructure to maintain"

Headless Commerce APIs give you the same flexibility and scalability as you can expect from a Headless CMS. Where e-commerce platforms are designed to work with product data and checkout systems, the latter is best suited to manage rich web content for the rest of your website. To keep this separation of concern, you combine these two headless architectures! In this talk I'll show how to use the headless Saleor Commerce and enrich that data by combining it with Strapi CMS.

How do we reconcile the differences between the needs of our developers and those of our content creation teams? Have you ever run into an editorial team who just doesn’t want to get their hands dirty with Git? There’s plenty of them. Strapi’s fantastic for giving them an interface to organize content to be consumed by frontends, but many of their needs work directly against Git-centric development workflows (aka GitOps) we see today.
 
In this talk, we’ll cover how Strapi can be deployed alongside a frontend consuming application on a single project on Platform.sh. From there, we’ll slowly piece together two parallel workflows for teams with very different needs in mind:
- Editorial: don’t touch Git. Live content previews. Runtime collection creation that moves to master. 
- Development: Git as the source of truth, repeatable builds, isolated environments, Infrastructure-as-code.
