There are many different types of businesses and products that are a service. You likely have heard of Software as a Service (SaaS) or Platform as a Service (PaaS).
But from the growth of composable and headless architecture, a new As-A-Service has been created - Front End as a Service (FEaaS). Since the front end is decoupled from the back end, this type of service allows developers to focus on the ways people interact with their sites and apps without constraints or blockers from the back end systems.
Joining this episode are Rachael Hibbert and Pierre Martin from Front-Commerce, where they discuss this emerging FEaaS space. They will explain many details on how to use this technology to build, test, and distribute engaging front end experiences faster, better, and cost-effectively.
Join the experts at Cloudinary and Front-Commerce for this engaging MX Matters episode, and learn how to construct your composable technology stack!Follow Our Hosts and Guests

While headless and composable architecture is the talk of the content industry, an intriguing trend has emerged. Due to its technical nature and need for novel uses of APIs, the transition to headless is frequently an engineering-driven effort. As a result, teams responsible for developing and publishing content—which frequently do not include developers or engineers—might feel left behind and asked to use a new system that seems inaccessible to them.
In this episode of MX Matters, Elad Rosenheim, who is in charge of Stackbit's developer growth efforts, speaks with Sam and Maribel from Cloudinary. Stackbit's visual experience editing platform serves as a layer to give engineering and marketing teams the experiences they both require - development flexibility and a user-friendly publication interface. Elad explains how he and the Stackbit team are tackling this trend, and also delves deeply into a number of crucial subjects related to content authoring and structure.
