Headless gives you speed and flexibility — at a cost. Here's how we decide when it pays off for a store.
Headless commerce decouples your storefront from your backend, unlocking performance and design freedom. But it adds moving parts that not every business needs.
At NOYT India we build these systems in production — with evaluation, cost control, and observability baked in from day one. Below we share the patterns that have held up under real traffic, the trade-offs we weigh, and the mistakes worth avoiding.
If you're planning something similar, the short version is: start from the bottleneck, instrument everything, and ship in small, reversible steps.
