Introduction

This lab shows how TYPO3 as a pure frontend connects to three different headless CMS: Directus, Strapi, Payload. A unified connector swaps the data source live.

Approach

Schema-first: data model before UI. Live preview in every language.

  • Structured blocks instead of HTML blobs
  • Reusable components
  • Containers for layout

History

Started as internal hackathon, grew into a comparison lab. Status 2026: three backends, one frontend.
