How we do it

We used to create monolithic instances of Umbraco hosted in Azure and built in .NET Framework and Razor. However, we’ve now moved things to a JAMStack (JavaScript, API and Markup) architecture using Umbraco’s headless CMS, Umbraco Heartcore. Using this framework, we pre-render the front markup using Node, React and an application framework like Next.js or Gatsby. This results in lightning fast, secure sites that are easy to globally distribute and don’t cost a fortune to host. We then create a highly available microservice architecture to handle all of our backend heavy lifting which provides the data to the decoupled front application via an API - normally GraphQL. We love it!
