Hydra: hosting for nothin' and your code care free
Headless Plone with Volto’s editing magic? Yes, it’s possible! This GSoC project reveals how. Could this be the future of Plone? where you can host for nearly free & have freedom over frontend choices
Why does Volto Hydra matter?
- If you **want a Headless CMS**:
-- You get the best editor UX for a headless CMS with visual editing with the bonus of being open source
- If you **don't know Volto**:
-- You get a lower learning curve if you already know a frontend framework, or just use one of the included starter frontends.
- If you **already use Volto**:
-- you can develop frontends with faster load times, higher security and less risky Volto upgrades, with no downgrade in editor UX
-- Or continue to use Volto as your frontend only so that your frontend doesn't have to be upgraded with the CMS.
- If you are **already using Plone Headless**:
-- this will improve the editor UX with just a few lines of code

This talk is about 'Hydra' a PoC for decoupled editor for Plone headless. We'll be gettting into how hydra decouples frontend from Volto and gives you the power to build custom frontend using your favorite framework while keeping volto's editing features.
