Pantheon is Your Trusted Partner for Decoupled CMS Experiences

Granular Edge Caching

Ensure that visitors get the fastest possible experience by caching server-side rendered JavaScript in our Global CDN. When content changes, use Pantheon’s Advanced Page Cache to clear only the right pages from the edge and preserve your efficiency and SEO.

Guardrails

Putting your front-end site on Pantheon eliminates the guesswork from configuring and automating how data is sourced from your CMS.

GitHub Integration

Manage changes to your code with pull requests on GitHub, and implement continuous integration and deployment (CI/CD). Every pull request generates a new environment where your code can be previewed and approved in isolation.

The beauty of decoupled applications is that they are fast, stable, scalable, and secure, which helps to create a better user experience and a better experience builds trust in the brand.
